NBA: 5 players who will make the jump to stardom in 2018-19

Aaron Gordon, Orlando Magic

2017-18 Stats: 17.6 points, 7.9 rebounds

Part of the reason why Aaron Gordon isn’t a star already is because he plays for the Orlando Magic. But he still had a great season this past year in which it resulted in him getting a big payday this summer.

Gordon is exactly what you’d want in the modern NBA wing. He has the size to play defense, can shoot from the outside and can score from the inside. Plus, he’s excellent in the open court – and in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest.

So what’s the next step for Gordon? Well, consistency is one thing that he can improve first. On top of this, he can be more of a leader and go-to player. If the Magic take a step this season, a big reason why will be Aaron Gordon.
