I agree that he is a 2g all the way...But he has great athleticism to make up the 2 inches or so that he may be missing and he has the strength to be able to compete, and once again his athleticism will allow him to be a solid defender...Not sure what I project in terms of star status and numbers, but I don't think he is going to be a failure...I see him starting somewhere next year and getting 20-25 minutes per game... |

 I think you really need to go and watch Gordon play some more basketball because I cannot believe what you are saying

If Gordon doesn't become more consistent, he's going to need to teach himself to accept being a role player. If he can't do either, he'll have a short career ala Dajuan Wagner.

I at least foresee a rookie year similar to Daequan Cook's. I agree that if Gordon contiues down his current path...then it will be a very short journey.

Slightly off topic, how does Buford's game compare to Gordon's? Similar?

Gordon has more athletic ability...Buford relies more on his midrange game than Gordon who is three or layup at this stage in his game...
I also think that Buford has a better shot and pull up game...Also Buford has a inch on Gordon, but Gordon has the better upper body stregth which is something that Buford still has a good amount of... |

I'm sure I've seen him play more times than you have. By the way, I'm obviously not the only one on the board who thinks Gordon may not have a even a solid NBA career. |

And in related news, buckeyesin07 can also jump higher, run faster, think quicker, AND piss further than LitlBuck. He is faster, stronger, better than ever before... just like the $6 million Man.  |

Gordon can make $15 million just with that first step. He is absolute lightning getting past defenders, its incredible.
