Sonoran Hot Reads: Aaron Gordon participating in NBA Slam Dunk contest

This could be fun

While it's not official yet, Cleveland.com's Chris Haynes has been told that former Arizona Wildcat Aaron Gordon is going to take part in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest next weekend in Toronto. Gordon will go up against Zach Lavine, Andre Drummond, and Will Barton. I'd guess that Lavine is the clear favorite for this event, but it'll be fun to see a former Arizona player in the mix and throwing down.
