Aaron Gordon

[Revived]

Gordon is almost 6'10 with crazy athleticism. His athleticism makes up for his lack of great height. He isn't undersized for the PF spot.

I think Randle is much more of a tweener than Gordon.

Gordon can be Blake Griffin 2.0 if he puts in the work.

If all it will take is hard work, Gordon will get there. I don't think he'll get there. He has a good attitude and a great work ethic but wanting to do something and doing something aren't always the same thing.

Wishing the best for Gordon! It has been a while since U of A provided a stud!

I think Arizona sophomore Rondae Hollis-Jefferson will have a better chance at being an NBA stud than Gordon. He has flaws too but I think they are more fixable than Aaron's.

Hopefully Stanley Johnson shines next year as well! I agree on Rondae.

Other than clips I haven't seen him play yet but by all accounts he's supposed to be something special.

You'd think teams would learn from Derrick Williams situation. Same player. Tweener. Athletic. Sucks in the NBA.

Tweener maybe but as a player he's nothing like Derrick Williams. In fact, their strengths and weaknesses are so dissimilar that if you combined the two guys you'd have a first ballot Hall of Fame player.

-Both undersized for their position; too small for PF. Too slow for SF
-Both can't shoot; Williams can a bit better than Gordon, but that's not saying anything lol.
-Both extremely athletic.
-Gordon can hopefully become a Shawn Marion type player. Defend, rebound, hustle. Score off easy buckets and passes being dished to him.
-All hope is lost for D-Williams
-I don't think Gordon was a good choice at #4.

Gordon is quick enough to guard SF's, he was quicker than some PG's at the combine. I think that's his strongest attribute right now.

At his age he should be a freshman this season so I think he's a long ways from a finished product but I can see him getting minutes this season guarding some of the top wings in the league. He's like a glue guy that plays winning basketball right now. He does a lot of things that don't show up on the stats like pushing the ball up the court, always running back on defense, setting picks, passing the ball for a big guy, and just fundamentally sound on defense, rarely caught out of position.

I watched the whole UCLA vs Arizona game last night and he looked like he was the best player without really scoring.
