    After his career is over where will he stand among the greats?After watching last nights game I was impressed. He made 9-9 three pointers. Tying the league record for most 3 pointers without a miss.I think he will be a bonafide 25 ppg scorer for his career.

    Yeah he will be a great scorer and all-star for years to come. The Bulls can be a championship team in a few years if the keep building around the main young guys. And mabee Gordon wiil be starting next year.

    I see him being one of the tops in the League with Luol Deng.He'll be very clutch in the future.

    A good scorer who will never have a distinct position, a tweener who makes clutch plays. Overall a good player but not an all time great if that's what this thread is implying. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I see him being one of the tops in the League with Luol Deng.</div>On seperate teams.

    The Bulls have been playing their best with Gordon coming off the bench. Coincedence? Maybe, but I don't see Gordon averaging past 20 PPG in his career. Even that is a stretch

    Vinne "The Microwave" Johnson is where I see his career heading. He is best suited to come off the bench, IMO.He isn't a great play maker for his teammates. He is turnover prone and he makes questionable decisions.But he can score and his defense is okay. Johnson's D was much better, but I still make the comparison. I think 25 PPG is generous. I'm not sure he will get the minutes to average that much per game because of his other deficiencies. He'll probably improve, but not in all areas.

    He really hasn't improved much at all from last year which is troubling. He'll be a good player but he's not a PG and a small SG so that might hurt his chances of averaging '25ppg' like Ballah said.

    It is really too early to tell. He is only in his second season, and we're talking about what his legacy will be when his career is over? Wow...

    I think he will be a three or four all star apperence guy. He will average around 21 points and 6 assists a game.

    Ben Gordon has vastly improved lately. I see him averaging 20 points a game along with a couple assists.

    12-17 ppg for career, maybe one or two all-star appearances. An energy guy.

    18 PPG for his career. Nothing much more than a scorer and a clutch player.
