Other guys in this league who are undersized or slight of build.
Tony Parker 6'2"(goes to the rim and gets in the paint whenever he wants to)
Steve Nash 6'2"(ditto except often times he dishes instead of swishes)
Jason Terry 6'3"(played a lot of 2 guard in Dallas especially during their championship run and last yr)
Mike Bibby 6'3"(isn't your prototypical point guard and plays combo style a lot)
Chris Paul 6'1"(on his way to being a league MVP)
Mo Williams 6'2"(this guy just signed a 6yr $52mil deal correct? NUFF CED)
T.J. Ford 6'1"(When he isn't falling on his Ass he's a good player)
Jameer Nelson 5'11"(Good enough player to be a starter on a young up and coming team who's made the playoffs 2 straight yrs)
Ben Gordon 6'3"(In the 4rth qrt you don't want this guy having opportunities 6th Man Of The Yr Winner)
Barbosa 6'3"(Speed kills and didn't Gordon have one of the fastest Combine speed and agility tests?)
Rondo 6'1"(He has a ring)
Sam Cassell 6'3"(not a pure point more of a combo guard with less athleticism he has 3 rings)
Louis Williams 6'2"(mark my words he will be a monster once he officially takes over the reigns in Philly)
Rafer Alston 6'2"(didn't he start every game for a team that won 22gms in a row?)
Raymond Felton 6'1"(I think a lot of people have suggested trading for him)
Kyle Lowry 6'0"(I think a lot of people have suggested trading form him)
Mike Conley 6'1"(what were the Grizz thinking picking this midget)
Steve Blake 6'2"(Frail Rail but played good enough the Blazer made him their starter and acquired him for a second stint)
DJ Augustin 5'11"(many have suggested trading to get him)
I didn't even bother to mention the weight on some of these guys because they are extremely light. Please the size issue is way overblown.

You can add Daniel Gibson to this list as well. He's defintiely not a pg at 6'1 and the Cavs dont advance to the finals without his heroics. However, he did have Lebron to take some of the ball handling responsibilities. Gordon would really excell if he had another ball handler to play with.
Yeah I left a couple guys off
J-Will(in his hey day)
Ridnour(some have advocated trading for him)
Pargo(Held It Down next to another midget in the backcourt LOL!)
Earl Boykins(I think he dropped 40pts on someone 2yrs ago)
Nate Robinson(ditto except it happened last yr)
Darryl Armstrong(in his hey day)
Now don't get me wrong these guys aren't necessarily world beaters but it gets down to style of play and team makeup. Our team is wrethced yes we know. But I wouldn't draft Gordon with the mindset of who's currently on our roster vs who will be or we would like on our roster yrs down the road. IMO drafting Gordon makes it easier to move someone like Jamal who may get us another pick in the first round.
