Gordon as an Impact Frosh

Jeff Eisenberg includes Aaron Gordon in his Top 10 list of impact freshmen:

6. Aaron Gordon, F, Arizona (Rivals Ranking: 3)
Gordon arrives in Tucson with as much hype as any prospect since the Lute Olson era. He earned California Mr. Basketball honors twice, took home the MVP trophy at the McDonald's All-American game and was named MVP of the U-19 World Championships this past summer even though he was only 17 during the tournament. A Pac-12 player of the year candidate as a freshman, Gordon will likely start at small forward for Arizona but also spell Brandon Ashley at power forward some as well. Power forward is Gordon's more natural position as a result of his explosive athleticism, relentlessness on the glass and ability to finish at the rim. The 6-foot-8 forward has worked diligently to improve his perimeter skills in preparation for playing more wing at Arizona and as a professional, but it remains to be seen how much more consistent his ball handling and 3-point shot have gotten.
