You all are completely stupid if your expecting him to be that 18-21pt scorer when he has been receiving the lowest minutes since his rookie year in these last 2yrs...

Guards in Europe are expected to be more well-rounded. Players would be more physical with him, he'd be expected to move without the ball more, etc. I'm not saying it would work miracles with his game, but at this point, the Pistons are invested in him for better or worse and the style of international play might help Gordon work on some of his weaknesses.</p> The reasons you guys list are a possible reason playing in Europe might actually help him.

He just shoots whenever he feels like it, like he's shooting around with friends in his backyard, with no regard to the fact that there's an NBA game going on around him Plus, he has one of the lowest BB IQ’s I’ve ever witnessed. His shot selection is mind-boggling.

He will never be worth his contract. Even if he puts up the numbers he did in CHI, thats still not worth his contract. He needs to be traded ASAP I agree 100% on Gordon, Ryan.
