Not a Banner Day for Eric Gordon

If Gordon is getting judged on his PG skills then his screwed. EJ is not a PG and shouldn’t be asked to be one. EJ is there for his shooting and his defense and I don’t think he is competing with Curry as much as he is competing with Westbrook, and Rondo. It would be a huge mistake for USA to cut EJ because without him they have a serious lack of shooters which is very important because driving isn’t a great an option in FIBA play because there is no 3 second violation. There are plenty of true points on the team, either Westbrook or Rondo should be cut because they rely too much on their driving skills and speed and don’t have a reliable long range shot.

Also the other day EJ hit a buzzer beating 3 in a scrimmage against the select team so I think he can afford at least one bad day when being asked to do something he isn’t used to doing.

bestclipfan: Some good points on Gordon v. Curry. Gordon is stronger although I don’t usually think of him as a lock down defender. I’d like to see Gordon have more steals and deflections. The whole team is defensively challenged since Camby was traded. Both Curry and EJ should make it — I agree. Seems Coach K likes Gordon’s ability to hit outside shoots against the zone which is what Team USA will see a lot of against International Teams.

Either way, mad props to EJ who is representing the Clippers nicely during the tryouts.

New uniforms? Anybody have a picture; sneak preview?

Thanks Nation!
