OAKLAND – With the exception of Aaron Gordon’s immediate family – which he dined with on Sunday night in his native San Jose, Calif. – no one is happier about the power forward’s success this season than Orlando Magic head coach Frank Vogel.
Vogel said as much on Monday as Gordon and Orlando prepared to face the Golden State Warriors. Vogel said that the promise in Gordon’s game has a lot to do with why he is the Magic’s mentor now.
``I’ve got a lot of belief in Aaron Gordon and he’s one of the reasons that I took the job here with the Magic,’’ said Vogel, who is in his second season in Orlando.
