Aaron Gordon: Rising Basketball Prodigy and Mr. Basketball Title Holder

Aaron Gordon became just the third California player to win the national Mr. Basketball award, following consecutive state championships with his Bay Area high school team. His versatility made teammates better while his individual numbers ranked him among the nation's top 10 players.

Gordon narrowed his college list to Kansas, Kentucky, Washington, Arizona, and Oregon. His older brother's recruiting experience helped him approach the process with unusual maturity. Gordon set his senior-year goals high: another Mr. Basketball award and Gatorade National Player of the Year recognition.
