Although former Arizona Wildcats’ forward Aaron Gordon wasn’t all that productive in his one and only college season, many scouts believe he will succeed on the next level.

The main reason? He is one of the 2014 NBA Draft’s best athletes. On Friday at the NBA’s Scouting Combine, he posted a standing vertical leap of 32.5 inches, better than Dwight Howard or Blake Griffin.

According to Baxter Holmes of The Boston Globe, Gordon met with the Boston Celtics and was asked a very interesting question.

Josh Robbins of The Orlando Sentinel reports the Orlando Magic have also interviewed Gordon.
