Im glad we got him, he should give us some much needed perimeter scoring.

I agree.. Welcome aboard Gord!

Nice pick!

Time to shop for a PG via FA

we need to get singletary in the 2nd round. he was the bomb at UVA

I don't mind drafting Gordon considering who was available at the time.

Bayless was there for the taking...

^ Bayless was nowhere near EG

I can just picture next year. Going up against normal size shooting guards...who will guard guys like Kobe? YAY...we can start Q ross over Gordon (cuz we all know Dunleavy is into match ups) and have a starting back court of Brevin and Ross. I just can't wait.

well if Livingston can come back he's 6 7. Gordon is 6 3. You can play them both in the backcourt and Gordon can guard PG's... actually a decent size backcourt

We needed a decent shooter badly and he's a great fit. The question is will Dunleavy start him or have him come off the bench like Thornton did last season?

My thoughts exactly. The few people who aren't so hot on Gordon gotta realize we need a good shooter-- that's what we got. He'll be a good fit here, especially with Thornton & Livingston.

My thought exactly. I would've drafted him instead. Only because he can at least play some PG, which I don't see Gordon doing with the Clippers.

Oh wells... hopefully EG will pave out. =d

I would have been cool with either Bayless or Gordon. Earlier in the season I liked what I saw from Gordon then he had a less than stellar finish. He adds that shooting touch that we need. He's athletic and even at 6-3 he has a 6-9 wingspan. Bayless would have been a little bit more versatile in that he would be able to play some minutes at the 1 but we got a pure shooter and he's going to make things a bit easier on offense for our post players. I look forward to seeing EJ out there with Brand, Kaman & Thornton.

To complement Kaman and Brand, Gordon was the way to go. As mkwest said, he and Thornton are going to help Brand and Kaman a lot. If Livingston is able to come back, play the point and defend SGs then that would be the absolute ideal.

I thought EG was listed at 6'4

congrats you guys probably just drafted the 2009 ROY. This guy is an absolute stud.

He was but at the combine it was revealed that he's 6-3 1/4 in shoes.

Woo! Eric Gordon, now if we can trade Cat Mobley, we're set! I can't believe we got a steal in the 2nd round in DeAndre Jordan!!! Two lottery picks in the 1st and 2nd round, great work! Now I'm very confident about next year.

Gordon and Brand P&R all day baby. I don't know if people realize what this guy will bring. Kid is a bulkier, shorter Dwayne Wade with a better jumper but can't block a shot.

^ He has a 6'5-6'7 wingspan. You sure he can't block shots?
