He only played in two preseason games, averaging 1.0 point and 1.0 assist in 8.3 minutes. Gordon was competing with several guards with non-guaranteed contracts for a roster spot including the likes of Jarrell Eddie, Chris Babb, Ian Clark, and Juwon Slaten.

Golden State Warriors' Ben Gordon Limited minutes in Golden State debut
Ben Gordon played just six minutes in the Golden State Warriors' preseason opener Tuesday, his debut with his new team.We're looking for a bigger role for Gordon on Thursday when the Warriors play the Trail Blazers in their second preseason tilt. Gordon's a somewhat interesting subplot in the Warriors' preseason. A one-time high-volume shooter/scorer that's fallen off the last three seasons is trying resurrect himself on the world champions' deep roster. He's looking for backup shooting guard minutes along with Leandro Barbosa (15 points, 15 minutes Tuesday) and a reconstituted Brandon Rush (five points, 16 minutes).

For his part, Gordon says he'll approach the game the same regardless of how he's used. "I think it’s more of a mindset," Gordon said. "When you’re role is really defined and you know exactly what the team wants from you and that’s the be aggressive right away, look for your shot and look to make plays, that makes it a lot easier." Gordon played 23 minutes in Tuesday's season-opening loss to the Pelicans, scoring five points on just 1 of 8 shooting while grabbing four rebounds and adding one assist.
