Are you kidding me? If Aaron Gordon can consistently make corner 3's (and improve on it to other locations), I think he's solidly the 3rd best player in this draft after Wiggins and Embiid.



Aaron Gordon with a jumpshot will beat Jabari one-on-one today, and has x2 the ceiling in the future.

Do we draft on practice or game results though? Dwight Howard is an 80% free throw shooter in practice and melts when under the microscope. We have all seen the video of Stauskas making 70/76 three pointers in his backyard. As good as he is, shoots under half the percentage in game.
 
Sounds like workouts went good today, though Hairston wasn't able to because of back spasms. Which caused problems for the drills...

This.


I could see Aaron Gordon becoming one of the top 3 best players in this draft when he starts hitting those corner 3's and consistent FT shot. Could be better than Wiggins easily because Wiggins doesn't have the fire Gordon has by inserting his will into or on the game. Also could be better than Embiid if Embiid is injury prone with his history of back issues or Embiid's back never pans out. Just want to end off with watch Walt Perrin's interview from Sportsbeat Sunday where he has seen dramatic improvements on Aaron Gordon's shot and knows Aaron has the desire and work ethic to become better, I will try and find a link...it's about the 3:25 mark of the video!
