I'm thinking the Magic view Gordon as a small forward due to his height and short wingspan.

6'9" with a nearly 7'0" wingspan. He really can play either forward position.

I think Orlando will view Aaron Gordon as a PF to begin his career. If he learns how to shoot, then try moving him back to SF.

I think A.Gordon will need to play PF because Orlando are already playing a PG (Payton) who can't shoot and a SG (Oladipo) with a streaky jump-shot. Very difficult to play a SF as offensive limited as A.Gordon is alongside those two.

fascinating to compare bradley and Frye's stats last yr... I think Bradley's deal will look fine by the end of FA

Thought he was 6'7", but that's just his height without shoes.  Either way, the wingspan isn't that great for a power forward and is about the same as Julius Randle's, who was similarly knocked for his wingspan.

Never saw much in this guy. A four year deal??? Sure, he's tall and can score in streaks but I just don't know. Barf.

this signing just crys for another lockout
signing a 31 year old role player to a 4 year 32 mil. $ contract

bradleys extention looks better with every free agent signing

Never mind this absurd signing - what the hell is Ben Gordon doing on that team?  I'm surprised that Pat Riley didn't sign him to help bolster their bench.  He belongs on a contender, imo.  Even a team like Chicago makes more sense for him (I saw in an article that he was considering returning to the windy city).
