Gordon has shed 10 pounds since the end of last season, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Gordon will enter camp the proverbial favorite for the starting shooting guard spot. With coach Alvin Gentry and his uptempo offensive system in tow, Gordon will aim to build upon his career-high 44 percent three-point accuracy from last season. However, the coaching staff has already confirmed they'll keep a close eye on Gordon in order to keep him healthy the entire season. That may include limiting his playing time and occasionally resting him. He hasn't played more than 64 games since his rookie season.
