No, I haven't seen him play-I despise college athletics. But you kind of made my point for me by comparing him to Deron. Deron is a PG. All that I hear about Eric Gordon, he reminds me of someone else....Ben Gordon. Not that either Gordon is a bad player, but I have had enough of trying to make players fit into holes we need. How about getting players we don't have to mess with to fit into roles on our team?
I don't see how this kid differs from Jamal or Nate in anything else other than physical stature.
Joe, did you actually read my post or just the name Deron Williams in it? All I did is compare his frame, as in they have a "sturdy" frame not a wiry one, like 95% of players.
I read your post, and I understood it. And I understand what you are getting at. But the mentality and height thing aren't changing and Deron's frame is a huge advantage for him at PG while Gordon's is something that just takes him to even against the SG's in todays NBA.
It's like when Isiah said Nate would have been a lotto pick if he was 6-3 or whatever. He's not 6-3, it limits him, and he can be taken advantage of. And, as you said about his one big advantage, to me it only makes him break even at a different position instead of letting him be able to use it as an advantage.
