Welcome, Aaron!

I haven't watched you play, but I trust the scouting staff. Hopefully you'll be a great player for us

Not even mad. I called him special in our big board thread. We shall see.

I personally love this pick Gordon gives us another really good defender and just a crazy athlete that can run the court. I do see him playing some power forward, but I think he is going to primarily be a small forward at 6'8 220 and I think he can defends 3's with no problem.

I was shocked......but not even mad one bit.

I've thought Gordon was going to be the darkhorse from this draft for a while. with some finessing of his handles, and some work on his jumper, i think we're looking at a Marion/McDyess fusion.

between him and Dipo, we're going to have some of the most tenacious defense in the league.

We're going to regret this pick in a few years. I'd consider him at 12, not 4th.

Was surprised at first, but I'm really starting to feel this pick. I like his upside if he can develop a jumpshot. Freak athlete. We can expect a lot of highlights next year between him and Oladipo.

I'm now an Orlando Magic fan. Where do I start?

I'm not gonna judge the pick til he steps on the court. Welcome, Aaron!

Ok Aaron, show us what you got.

Great defender. Guy who will dive after loose balls. He's a real fighter. I like that in a player.

I'd been advocating for a long time that we should pick gordon at 4, so I'm happy as hell. knew and said couple of times that he's gonna climb the ranking as the draft approaches.

I'm so frikkin sure that in no time, you all gonna be all over him

Post #17 » by **Hilltop** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 12:36 am

Is he going to be playing PF for us or what?

crazytown · Post #18 » by **crazytown** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 12:37 am

In Henny we trust. Him and Dipo gonna be highlight reels all year!

Btw: Henny shocks everyone again. Guy is a boss poker player. Nobody can read him..

Not gonna act like I wasn't surprised... But I like the pick, I'm not mad. In the mock draft thread i was the Lakers and I chose gordon with the other PFs on the board. he is a hard worker and a elite athlete. has a nice handle too.

This pick says a lot about Rob. Gordon's a extremely hard worker and is a great team player who puts an emphasis on defense

I think our defense is working out really well so far- maybe we will be like the grizzlies?
