The California Golden Bears reeled in a couple of 2018 four-star, top 100 prospects recently, so let’s dive into the highlights and see what the Bears will be getting in Jacobi Gordon, a small forward from Houston, Texas.
At 6’6 and weighing about 205 pounds, Gordon has great size and length; attributes which he uses to do two things: drive to the hoop and finish through contact and elevate above defenders to get clean looks on long-range jumpers. At least in this particular highlight, Gordon shows off an offensive mindset that is emphasized more and more in modern basketball: the essential erosion of the mid-range jumper.
