Aaron Gordon is a matchup nightmare. Or he wants to be.
He has been in a battle over his body since his career began. Labeled as a tweener — too big and not a good enough shooter to play the perimeter, but not big enough to play the post — Aaron Gordon has had to fight off concerns about his “best position” his entire career.
The Orlando Magic originally drafted him as an unmolded athlete they felt they could turn into a versatile defender. His offense was what was supposed to lag behind.
