AG's defense was ELITE last night on a top 5 NBA player.
But we already have DFS and Richardson for the same role. Maybe Gordon can guard bigger guys but I would argue that Maxi is at least just as good against guys like Zion or Siakam.
I already mentioned it on discord. A player like Gordon has no place in a modern NBA offense. He is not enough of a rim rolling or cutting threat, lacks a reliable jumpshot and is not good enough as a ballhandler to get touches on a team with Luka, KP, THJ and Richardson.
He has what I call "mediocre star player" skills. Can do a little bit of everything but lacks a single elite skill on offense that would make him a good fit next to true 1st and 2nd options.
Wouldn´t give up any of the current rotations guys under 30. Maybe Johnson and a protected 1st at the deadline but Orlando rejected the RoCo offer this summer. Meaning that they will ask for more.
