Insight into AG's play

Insight into Aaron Gordon and his play from coaches who have played Arizona:

“I think he's been really good. It's probably unfair to classify him with the dynamic offensive skillset of those other freshmen. He and Nick are probably the two best competitors we've seen this year. He's able to put the last play behind him and focus on the next. He plays with zero ego. There's no selfishness. He plays with unbridled energy. The tenacity and energy he gives on both ends of the floor, to me he's like a Kawhi Leonard (but a better athlete). He's about winning.”

“He's as good of an energy guy as you can be. People can knock him, but his game translates so well because he can guard multiple positions. He rebounds at a high level, finishes well around the rim. Not a shooter like [Jabari] Parker, not a perimeter player, but on any NBA team, he can carve out a niche. He can run the floor, gives you so much versatility.”

"Defensively, on the wing, he has the ability to lock down other great wings defensively. He did an outstanding job on Jabari Parker earlier this season, and he's got that type of ability to be a lockdown defender. Plus he plays into the blueprint of their team. He flourishes, both up-tempo and in the half-court."
