ORLANDO – Considering the comfort and grace with which he glides around the court and the hell-bent fury seething out of each attack of the rim, it might come as a surprise now that Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon is doing it all with a sizeable chip on his shoulder.
Now in his fourth NBA season, healthy and completely comfortable with his role on the Magic, Gordon looks very much like a jet that has just been given full clearance for takeoff and is ready to hit supersonic speeds this season. Even with a host of standout scrimmages to his credit and two strong showings this preseason, Gordon is quick to offer up this promising caveat for his future.
