The news that the Rockets are seeing a first-round pick in trade talks for Eric Gordon, as reported by HoopsHype's Michael Scotto, shouldn't come as much of a surprise given that the 33-year-old guard is having one of the best seasons of his career.

Gordon is shooting 50.5% from the floor and an absolutely blistering 45.5% from 3 on 5.3 attempts per game. Those figures are both career highs. Gordon's previous high mark from 3 was 2014-2015 when he shot 44.
