While the rest of the Rockets’ mainstays seem to have found their groove after a shaky start to the season, veteran shooting guard, Eric Gordon still doesn’t quite look the part of the perennial sixth-man of the year candidate fans have come to expect.
Following Saturday night’s loss to the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers, Gordon is averaging a pedestrian-by-his-standards 14.8 points per game to go along with a career-low 1.9 assists while shooting a 33.6 percent from the field (another career low) and 26% from three (almost a career low). In fact, up until recently, he held the worst three-point percentage of any player in the league attempting five or more threes a game.
