[PSA: AARON GORDON DOES NOT DUNK IN THIS VIDEO] [BONUS PSA #2: AARON GORDON HITS A BUNCH OF JUMPERS IN THIS VIDEO] This is what I remember from Summer League. Endless Aaron Gordon jumpers. With Vucevic and Payton both out this game, somebody needed to take the shots, and who better than the guy with…

If you want some extra enjoyment while consuming this video, try watching Scott Skiles reactions from the bench during Aaron Gordon’s skillful dunks. Skiles’ face is kind of indistinct, but it clearly shows the painful dichotomy that is tearing him apart: one one side, he hates Aaron Gordon like he hates all young players, and…

Aaron Gordon’s dunks are great. Really great. I like them a lot, and they are befitting of a dunk contest winner, which he is. In-game dunks as a rule are not as spectacular as those of the dunk contest variety, but he manages to find some pizzazz for a lot of them. Aaron dunked it…

Aaron Gordon showed us lots of stuff in this game. Lots of GOOD stuff. Pretty much his full arsenal of abilities was on display, so much so that it would be quicker to list the stuff he DIDN’T do: Pullup midrange jumpers Any midrange jumpers Free-throw line dunks Windmill dunks Dunks involving the mascot Everything…

It is important to note that, while Aaron Gordon did in fact have four dunks in this game, none of them were of the quality we have come to expect from him since he won (not lost) the dunk contest. However, he did hit a three, something that he did not do even one time…

Wow, who knew? All it took for Aaron Gordon to become the player everyone expected was to be the winner (yes?) of the best dunk contest of the modern era. That’s all! If the Magic had known that, they would have had him in the dunk-off a lot sooner. Oh well. What’s done is done,…

Everyone’s thinking it, but is anyone man enough to say it? Anyone? No? Fine. I’ll say it. Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson with ATHLETICISM. That’s what Aaron Gordon is. People might be leery of making such a comparison. And for good reason. We may be selling Gordon way short here. This revelation makes lots of things…

Right now the Magic are ruining Aaron Gordon’s development. Ruining. I mean, Gordon became a three-point shooter just so he would compare more favorably to Channing Frye. When your full-of-potential fourth-overall pick starts trying to reinvent himself as Channing Frye 0.5, that counts as you having ruined your young player’s development. If anything, Gordon should…

Why does this keep happening to me? Long story short: I see Aaron Gordon has 14 in the second quarter against the Rockets, I get hyped for his upcoming career high, and then he doesn’t score again. Shorter version, for those who prefer to not read sentences: Aaron Gordon, 14 at half, DTB hype, Aaron…

Aaron Gordon is still in that stage of player development known as “The one where DownToBuck makes highlights if the player shows anything at all”. This is not a good stage of player development. Put another way: I wouldn’t even think to do highlights of Karl-Anthony Towns if he scored a mere 12 points. It…
