What do you want to see from Aaron Gordon the rest of the season?

Muhammed Jumani (@MuMuJumani): I want to see Aaron Gordon be assertive the rest of the year. It is already a lost season, and when Aaron Gordon is not having a good shooting night, he overworks for his shots and often takes bad shots. I want him to become a better playmaker for others and impact the game in other ways when his shot is not falling. If he is able to do that, then he will become a very special player that all Magic fans should be excited to have for the long run.

Philip Rossman-Reich (@philiprr_OMD): It is a year of experimentation and growth for Aaron Gordon. We have seen him at his absolute best and seen him struggle with a lot of his new responsibilities — or what he thinks they are. I want to see Gordon continue this growth. He has to keep looking for ways to attack, be aggressive and take over on offense. But he still has to keep everyone involved and avoid over dribbling. Discovering that balance is important in his development into a star. Playmaking too will be a big thing he will work on this offseason. A few clutch possessions for him would not be a bad thing either.

Spencer R. Henderson (@SpencerRHenders): I want to see Aaron Gordon attempt to develop more chemistry with Jonathan Isaac. I want to see them run more fast breaks and convert on opportunities close to the rim. We all know these two players are the core of the Magic’s future, so I would like to see coach Frank Vogel use them more on the floor together. Gordon needs a player like Isaac to become a fast break threat and a monster for transition defenses to defend. The faster Gordon and Isaac develop a fast break chemisty, the faster the Magic could be to get back on track to becoming a playoff team.
