Aaron Gordon..Why do you want him?

Because he's an athletic freak, good defender, and seems to have an "it" factor.

I didn't like his hesitation to shoot open jumpers at times last season. I believe his lack of confidence in the jumper is unwarranted.
I like his form. His shot looks good to me, he just needs to confidence to to pull it when he's open. That could be a factor in his pro career.

Another thing he's got to overcome is his free throw shooting. It's a nightmare to watch. He's going to get hacked on drives to the hoop until he can learn
to fix that. If he doesn't overcome, or it takes him a long time this will greatly limit his potential.

If he's able to over come those two key issues so that the defense has to respect his jump shot, and can't foul him on drives to the hoop. Look out.
He could become a monster in this league. The "it" factor seems to be there. He has the look, and feel of an elite NBA player. It's like he expects it.
He's been preparing for it all his life.

If we have Hornacek on our staff I might actually consider him...
 
Aaron gordon as SF because:

Superior handles
Incredible transition game
Great passer
Great hips, knees, height, weight, wingspan, and lateral quickness to defend the NBA SF's. Doesn't project nearly as well defensively as a PF.
Doesn't have a post up game. Works better facing the basket, cutting, slashing, curling, catching lobs, etc. can get from the 3 pt line to the rim in the time it takes defender to lift their left foot.
Shot doesn't look broken, just needs more practice. Flashes of a perimeter game.
We really need an SF w/ elite length. Hayward is far better defensively at the 2.

FT% is disconcerting, but I am confident it is something he'll be able to fix.

He is by far the youngest player in draft. Incredible upside.
 
He seemed like a terrific passer, leader, and had high defensive instincts in the games I watched of his. Not sure where your evaluations are coming from.

For me it's defense, he's a good passer averaging 2 assists a game, he has decent handles and he's shown flashes on the offensive end which he can obviously stand to improve. He averages 42.2 from the line. Shooting is something nearly anyone can improve on as long as they have a good shooting coach. He'll definitely play the 4 on whichever team he ends up on. 35.6% 3 point shooting is good for a PF. Gordon is going to be a terrific 4 in the NBA. Book it bitches.

Sorry, I did not have a shooting coach and I shot free throws at 69% in the 9th grade.

My evaluation came from the Draft Express You Tube Scouting Video. It was made when Arizona was undefeated after 20 games and they were ranked number one in the nation, that is the reason the stats do not check out.

Is he a 3 or a 4 in the NBA?

A 3.

He projects so awesome at the 3. Not so much at the 4. Others feel different though. If we draft him as a 3, I'll be extremely happy. If we draft him as a 4, I will feel like this was a wasted season as it will stifle his own development, and the development of others as he fights for minutes with Favors, Kanter, Evans, and possibly Marvin, Murphy, and Thomas if we keep the,. Jazz already have 2 players who are better suited at SF playing PF (Marvin and Jeremy), so that is worrisome. If they feel he is a PF, then he probably won't be BPA when we draft.
