ESPN: NBArank instant analysis: 36-40 (Eric Gordon)

[mkwest]

4. Eric Gordon at No. 39: Too high, too low or just right?

Phillip Barnett, Forum Blue And Gold: Just right. Eric Gordon has the opportunity to become one of the league's better two-way guards. He became more comfortable last season throwing entry passes to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan while increasing his per-40-minutes scoring from 18 to 23 points.

David Thorpe, Scouts Inc.: Too high. I have him in the mid-40s and rising. He's a fighter on defense, but is still largely ineffective thanks to his size. Gordon is definitely trending upward as an offensive player with the ball in his hands and as a shooter, but he is probably the worst starting 2-guard in the NBA at rebounding.

Jeremy Wagner, Roundball Mining Co.: Just right. He can fill up the basket, but he does not fill up the stat sheet. Feel free to nab a rebound or set a teammate up every once in a while, Eric. He should be able to post a respectable assist rate just by throwing a few blind lobs at the rim with teammates like Griffin and Jordan.

Damn I thought his assist numbers were pretty decent. Didn't he get like 4.4 assists per game? Well at 6-3, I don't expect too many rebounds out of the guy or any shooting guard for that matter. He don't really need to be rebounding anyways having Blake, DJ and Kaman. Plus Bledsoe and Aminu are great rebounders for their positions. As long as he is shooting the lights out, taking it to the basket at will and playing solid defense, I am happy with the guy an think he should be higher on that list.

I really think that Gordon will surprise a lot of people when ever we have a season.
