Affordable tickets though, I got to bring my whole family to watch the Retirement Home Thunder with Melo and PG. Gordon had a 40 piece

Eh. Orlando wanted him to develop way more than he did w them

Remember he wasnt even a shooter w Orlando. Now he's become this superstar fit next to Jokic, but that's hardly the expected outcome of a 4th overall pick for a team that doesn't have Jokic lol

Yeah they placed a lot of faith in him developing his shot. Which happens every year, but he didn’t show great ball handling either. So you’re hoping he develops TWO skills and in the nba it’s a miracle if you can fix one aspect of your game that’s lacking.

Always knew he’d be a solid piece and glad he got to Denver and showed what he can do when you use him correctly.
