Following potential 2014 draftees

Hayward shot well last year didn't he? Where is the concern coming from?

Agree. What he lacks is a consistent mid-range game. He needs to be able to come off a curl like Harpring did or be able to pull up for the 8-10 ft. shot instead of barreling into the lane and committing a charge.
 
I was thinking with our second round which should be early. would make a great stretch 4

I think he could transition to SF. He is Hayward's size at 6'8" just has a little a heavier. A lot of what he does isn't going to translate but that killer three point shot certainly will.
 
Ok guys. You're right. Burke, Hayward, Aaron Gordon, Kanter and Favors.. is a good enough shooting team to have teams not pack the paint.

That's what we were discussing. Armchairs put school in session. I stand corrected.

Oh I never read that part. Hellllllll no. No. No. No.

Aaron Gordon is not, and never will be a 3.

He's not a 3. Not enough foot speed or quickness, he would get dominated on defense. Let him play the 4 and be a mismatch.
 
Yes.. I would dare so-so shooters to beat me from the outside.

Teams are going to do this anyway, not necessarily because our outside shooting isn't strong, but because Kanter and Favors are going to be over 55% TS%. Any team would rather get burned by a 40% outside shooter. It's not a question of if teams will pack in on us, but who they send to double and how they rotate. Both Kanter and Favors may draw doubleteams.

I want no part of Aaron Gordon.

Anyone think Gordon could be better than Griffin?

Aaron Gordon is a homeless man's version of Blake Griffin.

I've said it a hundred times, but if he goes top-10 in the draft, then people are making huge mistakes. I just don't see him transitioning to the NBA that well.
