Gordon strikes me as a guy that's going to struggle early to learn how to play in an organized system in college. Lot of upside but a totally annoying POS. Naturally I expect ESPN to gravitate towards him.

Gordon seems like a Blake Griffin clone. Can slam and jump high/rebound

The griffin comparison is spot on for Gordon imo

He even looks like a slightly gingeresque black guy

Griffin has a lot more athleticism IMO. But Griffin has more than just about every player in the NBA so that's not even a knock.

Gordon even looks like a Duke basketball player. How I hate him already.

ETA: Or is he going to Arizona?

I don't know nor do i care, he's a douche.

Anybody who's ever watched him play says the same thing. I've never heard anyone say a negative thing about him after seeing him play.

Gordon is way more advanced offensively than griffin was. He showed a good ft stroke and solid handles.

That kid will play in the NBA

No doubt. Still don't find him as athletic though. Like I said, that's not a knock though.

Still dislike Gordon.

According to Kent Lowe, Martin had nine points tonight.

He also hated the uniforms and the commentating.

I don't think this is an apt comparison at all. Not even remotely the same type of player.

I saw someone mention Martin reminds them of Carmelo. That's a more apt comparison. Martin looks to pass more than Melo though.

I've made the Carmelo comparison with him before. Regardless, he's a very good looking player that is going to help us a lot.
