NBA 2017-18: 5 Guards that are Robin-like key role players

Eric Ambrose Gordon Jr. (Houston Rockets)

#10 Eric Gordon

The Houston Rockets are enjoying a season they would never want to forget. They have outscored many teams in the NBA. Yes, James Harden is their main man, but the contribution on both ends of the floor by Eric Gordon is remarkable. He struggled in the start of the season playing as a starter for the injured Chris Paul.

Again he rediscovered his best form when he was moved back to the bench. He is also the reigning Sixth Man award winner and is in contention this season to bag the award again. He also won the All-Star three-point shootout in the 2017 version.

When you watch him play, he would notice his unorthodox shooting ark but that has not stopped the man from averaging 18.3 points per game and shooting a 43.1% field goal average this season. In the absence of Harden and Capela against the Chicago Bulls recently, Gordon put up a massive 31-point display showing his versatility as a basketball player.
