Aaron Gordon drove up the baseline and went up and under for a nice dunk. 

The Orlando Magic have had a less than ideal season with a 29-41 record, which puts them in 12th place in the Eastern Conference. Despite that, they’ve got a lot to look forward to in the future. One of those players that they have to look forward to is power forward Aaron Gordon. Gordon has done an impressive job playing over 20 minutes a night for the Magic this season. He put his athletic skills on display against the Detroit Pistons with an impressive up and under dunk.

Gordon does a great job with his crossover to fake out Pistons big man Andre Drummond. He drives hard up the baseline and finishes with a nice up and under dunk.

Aaron Gordon has seen improvements across the board this season for the Magic after his rookie season in 2014. He is averaging 8.8 points per game (up from 5.2 per game) and is shooting 47.7 percent from the floor (up from 44.7 percent). Gordon is also third on the team in rebounds per game (6.5 per game) despite playing almost ten minutes less per game than the guy in second place. He is also averaging 1.5 assists per game.
