Giddey isn't a PG, come on. He's a forward who is good at ball handling. Is Lebron a PG? No.

[Split T]

What’s your definition of pg? The truth is OKC plays pretty positionless. Giddey does average more assists per 100 possessions than SGA.

[INFORMER]

Yeah, Giddey is a point guard. He is the primary ball handler, runs the offense. They move SGA off the ball a couple of seasons ago.

Gordon is savage. That was one of the most brutal and nasty dunks I've seen. Shamet almost got the charge but his feet were just finishing planting and he leaned his body left slightly. Talk about getting posterized and then landed on viciously. If only we had Gordon. A bruising PF that rebounds and dunks ferociously. Everytime he wanted to dunk he dunked. I only recall the one time Bridges rejected him near the rim.

It's interesting to see a post like this about Aaron Gordon. He was knocked as a tweener and for a lack of aggression. He isn't a great rebounder either. But he is in a perfect role with Denver, and he is having a phenomenal season so far.

17.5 ppg
6.7 rpg
61% FG
39% 3PT

Ya I mentioned somewhere(in talking about Ayton’s AS chances) that Gordon was someone to watch. I don’t think he’ll get it, but he’s definitely someone who is right there and could snag an injury replacement spot over Ayton. FWIW, I think the front court all-stars will be LeBron, Jokic, Zion, Sabonis, AD, Lauri with AD probably being replaced due to injury. Ayton/Gordon could have a shot at that spot.

I wanted Gordon for our PF slot when Denver nabbed him.

[Split T]

Ya I’ve been a fan of Gordon since the draft(we were supposed to be bad that year and in line for a high pick).

It seems Denver has gone away from any of his playmaking stuff, probably because there’s no need since Jokic does all of that, but I maintained that he could be a decent 3rd option and short roll playmaker type. On top of that he plays good defense and is one of the few guys you can really put on just about anyone. Also some much needed athleticism.

[Mori Chu]

A lot of teams would have wanted him if they'd known they'd get 61% fg and 39% from 3.

I think Booker is the best SG in the league too, but I don't know if I would add the "unquestionably" qualifier.

Fair enough
