NBA 2018-19 season: The top 10 power forwards today

#6 Aaron Gordon

Surrounded by more talent than he’s had in a while, and under the most stable front office and competent head coach he’s ever had, Aaron Gordon is going to be heading up the charts of the NBA's elite.

He’s got the handles of a guard and the physique and strength of a traditional power forward. What’s more, Gordon’s really turning into a solid playmaker, as he posted an 11.7 percent assist rate last year – a tremendous improvement from his seasons past.

The Arizona product averaged 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 three-pointers per game last year, shooting 43.4 percent from the floor and a career-best 33.6 percent from downtown (after starting off in the high 30s in this category) in 2017-18.

That outside shooting mark will have to improve to at least league average for him to rank among the top 5 players on this list at the next time of asking.
