When Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers signed then-35-year-old Eric Gordon last offseason, I understood the vision. The veteran guard had a productive season last year in Phoenix, shooting 37.8 percent from three and spacing the floor from 25 feet out for Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and company. Morey decided to reunite with the former Houston Rocket to do the same thing in Philadelphia for the Sixers’ new Big 3.
Then, Gordon got off to an epic shooting slump at the beginning of his Sixers’ career. He shot 23.1 percent from three in October and 24.1 percent in November.
