Former Wildcat Gordon finding his footing in NBAย 

Former Arizona basketball playerย Aaron Gordonย did more than become an international dunking star at the NBA All-Star weekend. He has moved into the Orlando Magicโ€™s starting lineup and has averaged a double-double (10.8 points and 10 rebounds) over his first 10 starts. He has improved his offensive game notably since his Arizona days when he shot 42 percent from the foul line and made just 16 three-point baskets. At Orlando this season, Gordon is shooting 67 percent from the foul line and has made 27 three-pointers, which is about three feet longer than the college line.ย
