    With all the shooting struggles EG has had this season his aggressiveness to the rim really has stood out. It seems like his driving game is elite this year with how he can avoid shot blockers and finish in traffic.

    I hope he stays this aggressive moving forward even when his shot returns.

    (Going to do some research unless y’all beat me to it, but eye test thus far)

    I think Austin Rivers is allowing Gordon to rest a bit more on D, so his O can come back strong.

    It's pretty effective, but I much rather he improves his 3-point shot. For one, it's much more valuable to a shooter/floor spacer, and second, it will reduce the chance of injury (which has suddenly come up).

    Ego definitely looks happier and having more fun when he is aggressively penetrating the paint.
