At Zona Zealots, we certainly like to follow our alumni at the professional level, and it feels great to see them succeed. On Monday, the Ex-Wildcat Aaron Gordon had a fantastic game, scoring 30 points in the Orlando Magic’s win over Memphis.
Since being drafted fourth overall in the 2015 NBA Draft, Gordon has had a bit to overcome to warrant such a high draft pick.
Surely Gordon is athletic enough, and he made his presence known at the collegiate level for being a great defensive player, but in a league that covets offensive ability and scoring, that area of his game needed improvement.
