Like I said at the first he is explosive around the basket, which is what most of the video shows. His shooting scares me to death. With such a low free throw shooting percentage, you could not have him on the floor the last 5 minutes of the game. The other team would play hack a Gordon, but like what has been mentioned Malone made his free throw shooting a strength. If we take him, I will big time cheer for him and hope he becomes a stud for us.

From Hoopshype mock draft:
Pick 16. Aaron Gordon CHIPower Forward / 6-9ArizonaFreshman12.1 ppg, 7.8 rpgGordon is an explosive leaper and a great kid. He had a solid freshman season providing energy to a No.1 seed Arizona squad. He will impress teams in interviews and has proven himself as a focused, team-oriented player. He made an excellent impression on scouts last summer winning MVP of the Unde 19 Championships in Prague. He drew Blake Griffin comparisons coming into college, but it has become apparent to most that he lacks the size, power and all-around talent of Griffin. While he might benefit by returning to school, the other side of the coin is that if he doesn't show skill development in future seasons, he could easily slip from his current mid-first round projection. He started out the season determined to turn himself into a small forward, but it is apparent that his future is as a 4. His shooting has proven to be a real weakness, particularly from the line, however his vision and passing have been a pleasant surprise. While some envision a future star at the next level, look for Gordon to ultimately become an excellent defensive oriented, energy role player as a combo forward.
