Gordon got up some post-workout shots and showcased what looks like an improving jumper (making a series of top-of-the-arc 3-pointers as part of his shooting drills). Gordon said he's spent time since the end of the season working on his free throw shooting, overhauling his mechanics, and believes shoring up that aspect of the game will strengthen his entire offensive arsenal.
"A lot of what was happening throughout the season is, I would get on a roll, then I’d get to the free throw line and it would kinda cool me off a little bit," said Gordon. "Whereas now, if I get to the free throw line, it’s just reestablishing what I can do from the perimeter. It’s keeping me on a roll."
He acknowledges that there's a big difference between improving his shooting in an empty gym and doing it against NBA competition. But he gushes confidence while balancing the pros and cons of being the youngest guy in the draft.
"You don’t wear a little number around your chest. When you’re on the court, age doesn’t matter," said Gordon. "Nobody knows how old you are, nobody cares how old you are. I just try to carry myself with the utmost maturity and show that I belong out there. And even thrive out there."
