I’ve got three categories for discussion; who has better (1) impact on court for the last season and current, (2) overall talent/skill seen from their whole career so far, and (3) potential ceiling since being 28yo their impact might (or not) still peak next two seasons.
Aaron Gordon edges at being versatile and proven as a champion. While LaVine edges at being a more capable scorer and shot creator.
It could be argued tho that Gordon is just a critical “role player” on their championship run, while LaVine can actually be a star with role players built around him. It could be argued too that Gordon just sacrificed his potential to be a legit star in Orlando to actually contribute to a championship team. What are your thoughts?
Also, who really should have won the 2016 dunk contest? Why? For me it’s a tie tho lol.
Gordon has broader shoulders tho
