NBA Draft Prospect Aaron Gordon
6-8 – Power Forward – Arizona
Explosive leaper and dunker who excels in the open floor but is a bit of a ‘tweener’.
Pros
The most explosive and electric dunker since Blake Griffin. A truly sensational jumper with awesome power and fluid body control (see video below). Unstoppable on the fast break and attacks the rim with a vengeance. Is developing very good ball skills and has good hands. A willing passer who knows how to find teammates and understands how to play the game.
Has a decent looking jumper and should be capable of becoming a dangerous all around offensive weapon. Uses his athleticism well on defense and has the potential to be a very solid rebounder at the NBA level.
Cons
At barely 6,8 doesn’t have ideal size for the PF position but could grow another inch – and makes up for lack of height with his incredible jumping ability.
Must continue to develop as a wing player and improve his outside shot. Is a bit of a tweener. Not a good free throw shooter.
