THE Aaron Gordon thread

[OrlandO]

Bismack starting next to vuc? Is he a capable starter?

He can block shots and protect the rim without fouling, so on the right team you would think he could start. Not sure that's our team though since his offense is like dedmon's and supposedly he never passes. He's only 22 though (feels like he's been in the league forever). I find it strange Charlotte never started him with Big Al though.

This is the only reason to get BB...

I'd rather start him than dedmon, but to be honest I'd rather draft WCS than sign BB.

BB is almost as old as wcs

BB is a full year older, but age has nothing to do with my preference. I think WCS can be a more versatile defender. I also think he's more athletic and can offer us more on the offensive end as a result.

WCS would be a huge fit for orlando but i am not sure about his love for the game .He seems to have other things in mind than basketball.Henny has to evaluate that in interviews,if he is sure about wllie s love and work ethic than he can pick him.Even if henny picks WCS he can also sign biyombo to add depth to our bench,biyombo as a backup for the 4 and 5spot is a good fit.Then we still have dedmon too,a deep bench is important.
My draft order:
1.Justise winslow
2.WCS
3.Mario hezonja
4.Frank kaminsky
5.Kristaps porzingis

Who cares about Biyombo? This is AG's thread

Thank you! Stud! Love Gordon, put in work, I want to see some impossible made possible dunks next year.

I really want to see Gordon flourish as a Point Forward but its kind of redundant with Elfrid on the team

Yeah, I feel like we didn't get to see enough of him on the court this year to really have any idea of the player he'll become. Personally I hope he becomes more of a Draymond Green type. Have him put on some muscle and be our future 4 as he gets more and more of a feel for the game. Hustle, sick defense, and doesn't need plays drawn up for him to score, while still having the ability to hit an open 3 here and there (Draymond was at what, 33-34% from 3 this season on like 4 attempts a game?). That'd be stellar, and anything more than that (transition game, post game, ball movement) will just be a sweet bonus.

Did you guys not see point power forward Blake Griffin the other night without Chris Paul? He had a trible double. I'll take that redundancy everyday and twice on Sundays.

Dat work ethic

It's getting there, looks a lot more fluid though this isn't game speed though. Getting these reps up this early will do wonders for muscle memory but it is different when a defender is closing out on you. Can he make these with a hand in his face? time will tell but he's definitely putting in the work it seems. From what it looks like Dipo and AG getting the work in early and that is always good, the work ethic is going to pay dividends down the line, hopefully next season.

I know I'm not his Dad and all but I'm so proud. I still believe in this kid while so many others are all too easy to forget about him. Can't wait for next season! Keep the updates coming!

I think AG could be our Shane Battier as long as he can hit the 3 consistently

His jumpshot kind of looks like a mix of Kawhi and Ariza. I have little doubt he'll be at least a decent outside catch and shoot player. The next step will be shooting on the move and off the dribble.

He made several threes this past season. It was pretty spread out but he knocked down more than I thought he'd be capable of.

except a million times better...He's easily more Matrix an Battier
