Eric Gordon has found himself in a tough spot with New Orleans Pelicans fans. After being the crown jewel of the package the Pelicans got back from the Los Angeles Clippers for Chris Paul, Gordon was supposed to be the type of player the franchise could build around.
Unfortunately, that hasn’t been the case at all and Gordon has been viewed as not only a major disappointment by fans, but as a player which whom many of the Pelicans problems can be blamed on. While Gordon certainly did not endear himself to fans with some of his actions, like making it very clear he would have rather been a member of the Phoenix Suns instead of continuing his career in New Orleans a few summers ago, there are plenty of things out of Gordon’s control that have led to his struggles.
