Stahp trying to get me to build you a free website. Last time I'm going to ask.
on the app. square bizness.
Never seen it tbh.
Make it GordiFanz and photoshop a picture of Aaron Gordon Hayward in an extremely gay pose(Playing mini golf or sth...)
And I would be shocked if he ended up top3. Has ways to go to reach that area in this class. Would IMO need a fountain of unknown untapped potential and others failing like the Nets/Knicks.

I scouted four games (Arizona State, USC, Colorado, UCLA) of Aaron Gordon to get a better idea of how he scores the ball. The stats show he has a very well rounded scoring game. Here is where his offense comes from:
Spot up 3-pointers: ~29% of total points scored
Free throws: ~17% of total points scored
Low post up moves: ~13% of total points scored
Fast break opportunities: ~13% of total points scored
High post moves: ~11% of total points scored
Mid range spot up jumpers: ~6% of total points scored
Drives: ~4% of total points scored
Offensive put-back's: ~4%
Alley-oop dunks: ~2% of total points scored
Gordon seems to be a really underrated 3-point shooter. It's where he gets the majority of his points from, and in these games he shot 64% (9/14) on spot up 3's. On the season he's shooting 42% on 3.5 attempts per game from 3.
Another area that really stood out was his ability to score out of the high post. 11% of his offense came here, but the more impressive thing was that he shot 71% from the high post (post moves outside of 10 feet is how I measured it). It's a small sample size, but I do believe he has an elite post game for a perimeter player his age.
He aslo scores out of the low post, and gets to the FT line at a great rate like any good scorer should.
The main thing missing from his scoring arsenal is his ability to take his man off the dribble. But, he's better at it than the 4% would suggest, cause sometimes he would drive, then be met by another defender and end up shooting a jump hook out of the low/high post, so I counted the points in those categories.
He scores all over the court, both within the flow of the offense (coming of screens for spot up jumpers etc.) and by creating his own shot. If he ever improves his handle the way he improved his 3-pointer (that was one of the nocks on his game coming out of high school), then watch out.

I was referring to Randle as a bully. But Embiid's definitely got an ornery side. Smart definitely does. And Jabari doesn't necessarily play surly but he is very assertive on the court. He's a number one option in the NBA. I don't think Wiggins will be.
Well I'd be surprised if he in the end ended up the better pro than 3 out of Embiid, Parker, Wiggins, Exum, Randle. Top 5 is totally possible, but top3 is a stretch IMO.
Pack it in.
