Arizona’s explosive do-it-all forward who changed games without hijacking them
In the 2013–14 season, Aaron Gordon averaged 12.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists for Arizona while helping the Wildcats go 33–5, win the Pac-12 regular-season title, and reach the Elite Eight. He stood out for elite energy, rim protection, and transition pressure rather than volume scoring — a rare forward who could guard, rebound, run, and finish with force. The fit is obvious for teams wanting a high-motor, low-maintenance difference-maker: he brought size, versatility, and intensity, with the kind of competitiveness that tends to make coaches smile and opponents sigh.
