Eric Bossi's Aaron Gordon evaluation

Here's Eric Bossi (a Rivals sub is required) with more on Aaron Gordon:
"... Jabari Parker and Aaron Gordon separated themselves

It's not exactly a surprise that 2013's second ranked player Jabari Parker and sixth ranked player Aaron Gordon were able to separate themselves during USA Basketball workouts. However, the 6-foot-7 juniors didn't just create a little distance between themselves and their potential teammates, they opened up a chasm.

What's so impressive about these two young players isn't just that they were the most talented players in the camp, they were also the hardest workers and played the hardest ...

... As for Gordon, there seems to be a never-ending supply of energy coming from him. Even when he was sick on Sunday morning there was no dropoff in his play. At the moment, he's still in the mold of a combo-forward but Gordon has put in serious work on his perimeter game and is a much-improved ball-handler -- especially in transition where he loves to use a behind the back crossover -- and his shooting is coming around quite nicely ..."
