Gordon, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, is a media darling and YouTube sensation with a mix of highlight reel dunks and blocked shots for the Orlando Magic. Prior to a halt to the season as a result of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Gordon was averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds for the Magic.
At Arizona, Gordon's outstanding freshman season resulted in the 6-foot-8 wing being named a third-team All American by Sporting News, a first team All Pac-12 player, Pac-12 All Freshman team, and the Pac-12 Tournament All Tournament Team.
