Upside: Along with Kevin Martin, Ben Gordon has the most complete offensive arsenal in this draft. Lighting quick, Ben Gordon has the ability to both take it to the rim, and shoot the 3, which he hits quite consistently. A decent passer Gordon could play both the SG and PG in the LBA and has the potential to go for 30 on any given night.

Downside: Undersized, Gordon doesn't appear to have a position which is optimal for him. His passing stats in college appear to be rather inflated do to him being pared up with Emeka. His defense was also none existent at times, as he appeared to take breaks on the defensive end.

Overall: Expect Ben Gordon to become a terrific scorer, however, his defense will likely never catch up, as he seems simply uninterested in ever preforming up to his potential on that end.

Projected Pick: 4-6

Pros: Gordon has a great well rounded game. He has a decent outside and can even drive it in a little. Gordon super fast and can beat many opponents off the dribble.

Cons: Gordon is very small for a shooting guard. He reminds us a lot of Alvin Robertson from the old Heat teams. He's not a great defender either.

Over-all: Gordon plays the game smart and has a knack for picking up game situations. The LBA should be no different for him. You should be able to see Gordon step up and fill whatever position it is that he's needed at.

Pick: 5-8
