When the Phoenix Suns acquired Eric Gordon free agency this past offseason, I am not sure that James Jones’ vision of his usage would be to start 71% of the team’s games. Through the first seven games, with injuries to Devin Booker and Bradley Beal creating rotational opportunity, that is exactly what has happened. Eric Gordon has started 5 of the Suns’ first 7 games.
Gordon is a pro. Entering his 16th season in the NBA, EG has no issue starting. Of his 818 games prior to this season, Gordon has started in 628 (77% of his appearances).
