Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon is one of the most underrated players in the league. Due to the sheer amount of 3-pointers he attempts, most basketball fans know that he’s an excellent shooter.
However, he’s also a solid ball-handler and has enough burst to blow by defenders on his way to the hoop for an easy layup. He has improved on the defensive end in recent seasons as well, as he often defended the opposing team’s point guard last season when the Rockets elected to give Chris Paul a rest on defense to keep him fresh for the postseason.
