Can Aaron Gordon develop a reliable pump fake? If he does, Gordon will be able to repeatedly escape defenders with his athleticism. In the play featured below, Gordon sneaks along the baseline, uses a fantastic pump fake to get Draymond Green up in the air and slams home an emphatic dunk. WATCH:
Gordon is shooting just 28.8 percent this season on mid-range shots and 30.4 percent on shots between eight and 16 feet from the basket. However, he does occasionally show flashes of how dangerous he can be if he becomes a more confident mid-range shooter. In the play featured below, Gordon creates some space off the dribble and uses his length to shoot over the top of Green.
