I think he can get back to a consistent 20+PPG by the end of the season.


I don't. He's got 2 problems. His attitude (passive not pouty/heart in phoenix crap), and his handle. It seems like 30% of his moves either false start or turnover because he loses control of the ball. If he handles better he has fewer turnovers and more points, and it seems like that's something he could fix with sufficient practice. We're not talking becoming best dribbler in the league here, we're talking about not losing the ball when you start your move. Fix the dribble and the passiveness and you have a 20+ ppg scorer.

You could say the same thing about James Harden and Klay Thompson who people seem to love.

his moves

I laugh when Gordon eyes down his defender and does his jump-in-place between the legs dribble a few times before deciding what move to make. He looks like he's in an exercise class.
