There were a few people that talked up Campazzo last offseason. Knicks should have reached out but Leon was probably tired.

How everyone in the league thought Gordon was worth a 1st is crazy. He was a average player for years and then everyone thought he was a missing piece out of nowhere? Magic committed highway robbery

In spite or Gordon's efficiency during the regular season he has been a massive overpay...averaged 10pt pg for Denver and a significant drop across all other counting stats

He's really bad.

Low BBIQ on offense, not a whole lot of skill

I think Obi's gonna be a smarter and more skilled player. That should tell you how I view Gordon.

Defensively Gordon is good though.

They called it both ways but those foul calls are ridiculous

I feel like Denver has kinda snatched defeat from the jaws of victory though letting Beasley and Grant get away.

Great job by Den/Joker getting it close at the end. This is a carry.

Will be happy for Obi if he can get paid $18m in a year playing basketball.

More skilled in what way? I think they're both ultimately just finishers around the rim and from 3. Aaron Gordon sneakily somehow became a passable 3 pt shooter the past 5 years: 33.6%/34.9%/30.8%/33.5%/37.5% I think that's roughly where Obi will be as a 3 pt shooter :lol:

I will give you the smarter player though

Who the Faccundo Campapazzo ?
Austin Rivers

CP3 seems a little off today. Trying to get going through his smarts but his shooting is off.

No you're right. I just think Obi has more upside as a passer, and he doesn't take these wild shots he has no business taking (I credit Thibs for that too). Just seems like a more natural basketball player, although Gordon is obviously better than him today.

I'm glad Aaron Gordon got robbed in those dunk contests.

yeah i could see obi trying to do some wild **** too if he got drafted to say the magic. I think substantially they're the same player though at least on offense if you had a good coach, with aaron gordon giving you more defense
