He'll make a great back up to Jeff GREEN.
P.S. - He's still not ready.

been on the "aaron at the 3" bandwagon from day 1, but i really hope he doesn't try to get crazy with the dribble moves in actual games. besides being unnecessary, i don't think his handles are as good as they would need to pull off those moves against nba defenders.

I called him the SF of the future way back when we had Harris and a lot of people scoffed....You're welcome. Its cool to see 2K/And1 style moves and jumpers but the reality is he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a beach ball during an NBA game. I expect improvement though just like we saw last year.

Had a couple of sick dunks but other than that, the handle still looks a bit slow. You have to remember, this isn't NBA talent he's playing against. Im sure you could find a video on YouTube of Andre Drummond looking like Kevin Durant in high school.
I love the kid and what he brings to the table, but pigeon holing him at the 3 is irresponsible. He's versatile and should be used where he is best. His handle is still weak for a 3, but for a 4 is pretty good. He will likely backup the 3 and 4 playing 28-30 mpg.

I think his handle is fine for SF, I think he just tries to do a little too much at times.
He had a similar video from the pro AM last year. Same stuff, crazy dunks, crossovers and the like. I'm eager to see if he can take another step forward though, his progression between Year 1 and Year 2 was pretty good, but his 3-point shooting needs to improve for him to be reliable at SF. Important to remember he's not even 21 yet though. He shot 33% for the first couple months off the bench and then torpedoed when he started. If he can get back to 33-35% he'll be a fantastic SF.

Chad Forcier licking his chops right now to get his hands on Aaron Gordon's game. We will see improvements in his game this year, very confident about that.

You also called Victor Oladipo as the SG of the future, so you may want to relax on the self congratulations. While many of us like Gordon at the SF position, let's all remember this is a freaking Pro-Am. Around this time, 6 years ago, Dwight Howard was running up and down the gym drilling 15 footers in a video as well.
Not trying to be negative, because I am excited for Gordon, but when people are giving themselves high fives over a Pro-Am highlight reel, it is clear some perspective is missing.

Best dunker of all time forget VC. Yeah I said it. I'm hoping he breaks out this year.
