Aaron Gordon gets the steal and throws down off the fancy give-and-go from Mario Hezonja.About the NBA: The NBA is the premier professional basketball league...
He was a shooter that couldn’t shoot and never wanted to defend. So he was a 3 and D guy that could do neither.
Scott skiles, his head coach, was known for having some of the best defenses in the league with few turnovers. Hezonja never learned to defend and turned the ball over a lot.
I agree that he wasn’t but to be honest he was more than just a shooter but was pigeonholed into that role because of the clunky fit with him and the rest of their core. Magic didn’t do a great job in the early 2010’s building a core that they could legitimately win with, didn’t do a great job with development/scouting, and didn’t do great at supplementing the young guys with vets that made sense. Multiple coaches…Hezonja wasn’t put in a good position to succeed.

He just wasn’t that good around NBA talent.
