He came up through the ranks in Northern California at starred at Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, California. A Top 10 Big Mac and every body's All-American coming out. He also played on AAU Powerhouse the Oakland Soldiers along with 2014 Big Mac and Arizona Top Recruit Stanley Johnson of Mater Dei High School and California Berkeley 2013 Big Mac in Jabari Bird. He was a force on the University of Arizona Men's Basketball Team as a Freshman sometimes dominating the action. Is this 18 year-old yet to turn 19 6'8" 210 El Bees worth of Versatility a Top 3 Picks in the 2014 NBA Draft going to the Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers?

Gordon to me might be the most intriguing player in that Top 10 because he does so many things above average Teams have taken a double-take on the talented Wing Forward. Is a Four or more of a Stretch 4 as I call him a Ball Players its that simple. Only Jabari Parker at the Small Forward brings as many tools as Gordon and Parker lacks Gordon's Athleticism as Gordon lacks Parker's NBA-Ready Offensive Arsenal.

The Sixers will be selecting at #3 on Thursday Night and KU's Big Joel Embiid is all but off that Sixers Radar as Phily Faithful wants Parker or Wiggins but slow up. Gordon's Defensive Arsenal and his ability to Finish at the Rim warrants the Sixers to take a long hard look at the San Jose Shark on the Hardwood. It would shock some folks as most have Indiana PF Noah Vonleh going to the Sixers at #3 but Gordon might creep up and take that slot as he is rumored to not get past #8 the Sacramento Kings staying close to home.

Check him out on Twitter @IAmAaronGordon as Game recognize Game...and tell him the Bluedude sent you!
