What’s hindering Aaron Gordon’s development?

The final half of last season saw Aaron Gordon emerge as a single glimmer of hope that shone through the swamp of the Orlando Magic’s mediocrity.

After being injured, mismanaged, and generally buried on the bench for most of his first year and a half, coach Scott Skiles finally took off the chains so that Magic fans could see him fly.

And fly he did. Gordon’s electrifying performance in the 2016 NBA Dunk Contest put him on the map for the casual NBA fan, but on the court he was providing more than just acrobatic slams.
