Reigning Pac-12 Player of the Week Jordan Bachynski has proved to be a load for most opponents this season, especially last weekend for Oregon State and Oregon, on which the 7-2, 250-pound junior center narrowly missed two consecutive triple doubles. 

Correcting Aaron Gordon's Free-Throw Shooting

Forcing the issue on offense has led to 

Aaron Gordon not being relaxed at the 

free throw line. Did he turn a corner

against Oregon State?

Aaron Gordon's woes at the free-throw stripe aren't likely to scare away NBA teams this spring, just as it didn't with the likes of doppleganger Blake Griffin.

The two players are obviously similar in playing style, as they are high-flying highlight reels of rebounding and dunking prowess.
