The goal of this thread is to inform Celtic fans about the draft with the newest and best information available.First let me say that I accept Gordon is a great athlete, his stats athletically in the combine are better than Blake, which we will show in this thread. But all the hype behind Gordon this year and the comparisons to Blake Griffin we need to put in to context. We will use Blake Griffin, Chris Bosh, and Al Hortford as case studies.
In this thread we will look at concrete factors like: Length, Size, Age, Athleticism at the combine. We will need inputs from ppl on skill and injury possibilities.

* Also it must be said that Gordon had the best times in the shuttle run agility out of almost everybody...he is def the best athlete we have seen in awhile, and the fact that he is one of the youngest prospects only makes him that more enticing.
