Did anyone see Gordon’s renaissance coming last year? He blew expectations out of the water and set an extremely high standard for himself. This year, he’s got to keep it.
Last year, I predicted three potential versions of Eric Gordon: unhealthy Gordon, role player Gordon, and beast mode Gordon. I think it’s safe to say last year we got BEAST MODE, SUPER MAN, BOSS ERIC GORDON.
His 16.2 PPG was the most he had since 2012-13, his 75 games played was the most he played since his rookie year, and as a cherry on top he won the Three Point Contest in front of his old home fans in New Orleans.
