Eric Gordon is still valuable to Rockets whether traded or not
As it was reported by the Athletic, Eric Gordon will possibly start for the Houston Rockets again, which isn’t necessarily a bad idea. Gordon is the longest tenured Rocket on the roster from 2016. He’ll serve as Houston’s oldest veteran so he can be a guide the younger players. The Rockets received three more rookies this year in Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, and TyTy Washington.
Gordon starting in the small forward position will allow the Rockets to space the floor with elite shooting, including running in transition. Although Gordon is turning 34 years old in December, that doesn’t mean he can’t keep up. Gordon still can run off curl actions for an open jumper or towards the rim.
