Regardless of Fultz, I think an AG for DLo will be good for us. Now imagine if Fultz comes back healthy, suddenly we have a really nice scoring backcourt.
This team needs a scorer.
Gordon isn't young either. He's been in the league for 5 years already. And we also have Isaac and Okeke waiting behind.
i agree with all except the underlined. AG is only 23, he is still young
He's still young, turns 24 before training camp. You do have to balance out age with how many minutes and how much USG he's been given in that span.
He's now approaching 10k NBA minutes played and in the past 3 seasons he's also had a big role in the offense with a 20.1, 24.7, and 21.8 USG rate.
In those 3 years, Aaron Gordon has twice been #1 and once #2 in FGA's off-the-bounce for the Magic. So he's had the ball in his hands to test if he can handle that role.
Here is how AG compares with Oladipo and Tobias Harris in that aspect during that 21 to 23 age range:
