He has great range and explodes to the basket. What seperates him from the rest is that he is smart. I think Gordon will be a very good NBA player because he wants to be. You guys can't tell me that at the beginning of the year it didn't cross your mind that Gordon had the potential to be one of the best Hoosiers ever. I am pretty sure that the only player under Bob Knight to lead the big ten in scoring was Brian Evans and that was when he was a senior.....Gordon did it as a freshman. I don't think KS exploited EJ's strengths as well as he should have. If you watched the games anytime anyone ever set a pic (excluding Taber) the almost never made physical contact with the defender. I think that towards the end Gordon was going for his own numbers and was selfish, but with all the turmoil surrounding the program I can't say I blame him. I'm sure there was a total lack of respect for DD in practice and he figured he'd better get his at least. So my prediction is that Gordon becomes a great NBA player.

Coaches and Gm's are going to think that they can teach him ball handling skills and a mid-range game, so he'll be a top 10 pick barring any unforseen instances.

The only reason he scored so many point this year is because Sampson kept gong to him and if you shoot or drive enough you will get points. The NBA will expect him to carry his own load and the offense will not be built around him doing "his thing." If he has to earn his points, he will have a very hard time. If you compare him to Derek Rose, he looked completely out of it most of the time while Rose looked ready and capable of starting and finishing plays and scoring at will.

Some have solid careers and stick around in the league, but few are ever superstars. I wouldn't be surprised to see either of these guys be successful, but I don't expect them to be superstart. I think in that regard, DJ White is going to end up having a better career than Gordon, because unless Gordon because that type of player (superstar), he'll be considered a disappointment. DJ will always give you 100% and be a solid team player, even if he isn't averaging a double double. Indiana doesn't exactly have a great track record with NBA players.
