Gordon wants to reach a higher level

Aaron Gordon proved this season that he is no longer just a dunker.

The 6' 9'' forward averaged 17.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game this season, both career highs. Even though he played just 58 games this season due to injuries, he managed to record his first two career 40-point games.

Gordon's versatility stretches beyond his offense, as he had a couple of 4-game streaks in which he put up at least one block and one steal. Additionally, players shot about 3.3% worse from the field when guarded by him.

Gordon's elite athleticism, developing a three-point shot and good defense make him one of the most promising young power forwards in the league. Teaming him up with Mohamed Bamba, who Orlando selected in the 2018 NBA Draft, could create one of the best frontcourt duos in the NBA.

But his free agent stock is up, and offer sheets from other teams will certainly make their way to the table.
