I think it's very telling that the Celtics are including Aaron Gordon in a SF workout, rather than in a PF workout (based on who else is included in today's group). I'm very excited to see that the C's see Gordon more as a slight shooting prospect at the 3 than as a slightly undersized 4. I agree with Kevin O'Connor's assertion that Gordon projects to be much more successful as a 3 than as a 4, and I think this lends credence to that assessment. It also seems to support the idea that Boston like him a lot (given that they're going somewhat against the grain to ensure he fits with their current roster lineup).
I've been high on Gordon for a while now, thanks to the under the radar tools that he has at his disposal. Sure he's athletic, but he's also an incredibly hard worker who has both a humble demeanor and an appreciably high intellect. The kid is going to work hard, and work intelligently, to improve his game, and he has the defense to ensure that he gets enough playing time to develop his skills in-game. Plus, he will go after every loose ball, and bring an additional competitive attitude to a Boston locker room that lives with a chip on it's shoulder. That's the sort of player I want on my team.
