Harris measured in at 6 foot 2 and Gordon 6 foot 7...that concerns me. Give me Young all day with the 2nd first we have.
Hold on. You're listing their height without shoes. Every height you see on tv or read online for NBA players is with their shoes on. Kevin Love is 6'10", not 6'8". Same with Blake Griffin. While Harris is still undersized at 6'4.5", Gordon not so much. He's still a tad small for a PF today's NBA standards, but again he's still only 18 and may or may not be done growing. He grew and inch and a half since last summer. Right now he is at 6'8.75" with shoes.
The thing that sets Gordon apart from all other PF's (except for maybe Griffin) is his crazy athleticism. It's off the charts. He did surpass all of Griffin's testing numbers at the pre-draft combine. His speed and agility testing was better than most guards and wings at the combine. Between Noel, Wiggins and Gordon these guys could defend multiple positions in the NBA and keep their man in front of them. You could throw me at SG and with MCW running the point there wouldn't be a more athletic team in the NBA.

Aaron Gordon just jumped so high they had to raise the vertical jump apparatus.
@chadfordinsider
Aaron Gordon has a 39 inch max vert. Terrific for a player his size.
@chadfordinsider
So Gordon 39", Vonleh 37", Randle 35.5". All good numbers for bigs.
@chadfordinsider
Aaron Gordon continuing to wow. 3.27 3/4 court sprint and a super quick 10.8 sec lane agility drill.
@chadfordinsider
Randle and Vonleh with identical speed and agility scores. Both solid for their position. Gordon clearly the best athlete of the group.
@chadfordinsider
Think its safe to say that Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine were the big winners in the athletic testing today.
If he's there at #10 the Sixers have to take him. This kid with that athleticism, his work ethic and crazy motor is going to be a player. He's one of those players that fights for every loose ball and usually gets it. By the time the 2017-18 season rolls around and he's 22 years old with 3 years of NBA experience he'll be stud.
