Gordon Hayward-Butler

Here’s some info on Gordon in case he is a new name to some of you. After a really good freshman year, he’s just starting to get his name out there. He is starting to get some publicity after being on the U-19 USA Basketball team that just won gold in New Zealand. Does anyone have any thoughts on this prospect? Three stars on rivals, no ranking.

Don’t be fooled by the clips, Gordon isn’t just a driveway shooter. He often brings the ball up the court, starts our offense, and can drive it into the middle. He can really play the 1-4 in college and probably the 2/3 at the next level. His handles are extrememly under-rated.
