if we can get past sacramento here, i think we get him. Charlotte, Philly and Denver dont need PG's

OK, bright side:

He's still only 18, won't turn 19 until just before training camp starts.
He's 6'9", 225lbs with a 39" vertical, a near 7'0" wingspan, and great speed. That coupled with him being so young suggests he could bulk up to guard legit NBA PFs while retaining most if not all of his great mobility.
He comes in with a reputation as an NBA-ready defender, and he has an acute understanding of his own abilities and limitations on offense, so he won't be trying to force the issue on that end until he's ready.

Honestly, if he develops to his potential and becomes an All-NBA type defender (who can defend multiple spots) and becomes even average on offense, that's a worthwhile pick at 4.

Magic fans inside Amway Center thought they were getting Exum after Philly took Embiid #3:

And then they booed after the Magic took Gordon:

A lot of unhappy folks.

I've come around to Aaron Gordon. I'm excited for him.

Gordon has hennigan written all over him. Amazing athlete, hard worker. He was projected to go to Utah at 5. i wanted Exum and was surprised but I dont get why... some people are mad???

I compared him to Oladipo earlier and I'll do it again. IMO he was restricted in college due to his system and being a team player but he has a nice handle as well. Gordon gonna prove yall wrong!!
