but he's found ways to work around it. those are just the orthodox ways of doing it.
he's great at creating space and fadeaways, which really negates the huge thing on his height.
and just for conversation's sake, ben gordon is a fine defensive player. he's just not an aggressive player on d.
this can easily be attributed to the fact that gordon doesn't want to get into foul trouble. hinrich can get away with it now because we have rose who we want anyway, and before because we had duhon who was a really good bench guard. gordon has no solid player backing him up unless salmons is able to come to the two again without deng.
now i don't want to get into this big discussion, but it might be beneficial to bring gordon off the bench if we still have salmons and deng next season. now this isn't because salmons is a better player, but because of the manu ginoboli role. he doesn't have to worry as much about doing the other things, and can focus on scoring. like i've seen many dallas mavericks games, and imo jason terry is the best player on that team. better than dirk in my opinion. but he works best off the bench because he's that instant offense. also, we could look for that length in the starting lineup like the lakers with ariza.
a rich man's jason terry is really what gordon is, although he can create his own shot even better. if gordon's coming off the bench for salmons for situational purposes, i'd be ok with it. i really like gordon in the starting lineup, but i'm ok with salmons if he continues this play into next year.
also, it's not the same thing as gordon coming off the bench for a scrub like antoine wright, michael finley, or thabo. and he's just such a great guy, i think that he'd be ok with it, and keep doing what he's doing.
