The time is now for Aaron Gordon to carry the Orlando Magic

With the No. 4 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, the Orlando Magic selected Aaron Gordon.

The majority of fans at the Amway Center that night booed when the Magic surprised the world with the selection. They appeared to favor taking fan-favorite point guard Dante Exum or Rob Hennigan-favorite (at least from the year before) Marcus Smart or the more proven commodity in Julius Randle.

Gordon was a supreme athlete, sure. But he did not have a defined skill set and would promise to need several years of development to turn into.
