Gordon doesnt really put up much resistance downlow. hard to say RHJ isnt just better, but significantly better as a post defender. his ability to gaurd all 5 positions is huge today, since its about being able to switch and help and play small.
Also, RHJ is 6'7" 218lbs with a 7'1" wingpsan
gordon is 6'9" 220 lbs with a 7'0" wingspan
its not like we are talking minute bol vs mugsy bogues here.
if gordon was a really good offensive player id concede the move, but he isnt. really the only way i even consider this deal is if you make the RHJ's play style means constant injuries argument
220 was Gordon's rookie weight. there is no way he's still 220. Just a side by side comparison of Gordon vs Rondae in matchup and it's clearly. it a 2 lb advantage
I don't think either of them are the weights that Prok listed. RHJ is at least in the 220s.
