You know, I can agree that Gordon's handles can look a bit clunky at times, but I have a feeling he might be one of those guys that despite how awkward he looks, he still pulls it off. a bit like Shawn Marion's jumpshot. he's got good spatial awareness of his body and confidence in his handles, and a solid IQ. he uses jump stops well and has an eye for where the defense is, so i see no reason why he can't package those together to find himself good shots. apart from his high flying dunks, i think he'll start using a lot of close range step back jumpers. get himself in the paint, then hop back to create space whilst he gets off a high % shot. he tried several of those in SL and missed, but i think that's a shot he gets down eventually.
