my pick - aaron gordon #4, glenn robinson III #23

i always said randle or gordon, but i finally decided to go with gordon because

1. gordon came in big enough to be my swiss army knife defensively - he would be able to guard 3 & 4
2. he is explosive
3. love his motor
4. he will improve our defensive intensity - will be our defensive leader by year 3
5. we already have favors and kanter. i'm not giving up on them yet.
6. randle has a hand size of a 6ft 1 dude. 8.25 width? that won't even look right. that's friggin my hand size. i'm big on hand size. i hated dante culpepper. hated chad henne. yeah i'm nit picking, but maybe he can't go right because he can't secure the ball well.


so yeah, at #4, i want

1. gordon
2. randle
3. vonleh

in this order



and at #23, most of guys i want would be gone anyway, so why not roll the dice on top 3 athlete of the draft? grobiii has shown that he can play. he is not a total scrub. he will only get better. did every on shooting drills and he did make many key 3's too. good value at #23.
 
give me excitement or give me death!

Good reasoning.

and i think randle, gordon, vonleh are so close that i probably take gordon as well for the same reason you stated about not giving up on kanter and favors.

Gordon being able to play the three would be the deciding factor for me.
 
Aren't they both 3s?

And if we're drafting those 2, then who are we trading Hayward for? Or do we plan to move Hayward to the 2 and Gordon/GL3 to the 3 and hope that teams have major brain farts play and Corbin defense? Literally, we have 1 shooter (Trey) if we play Gordon/GL3 and Hayward at the same time. Defenses are going to love defending us. We might average 60 pts per game next year.

So maybe next year's lottery will provide us a #1 offensive option?!

i really thought hard about Exum, but i don't love him enough to pass on those 3 who i've seen all year.

Exum is one of the few players in this draft who could be that #1 offensive option this team sorely needs. I think we should take an extra look at him.

This team needs a go to #1 option.

Kanter isn't smart enough, Favors isn't it, Hayward isn't it, Burke is too short, Alec maybe (should have actually started him and played him 35+ mins last 2 years), and Exum maybe.

This big time.

Lotta good foye, raja, and jefferson are gonna be doing us in the next few years.

Would love to have a better idea what burks ceiling is.
 
Love Gordon, especially if he's a 3 and can be trained to shoot. If Embiid's back isn't right, then I would definitely take him at 4.

If Embiid's back is wack, my top 4 is:

Wiggins
Exum
Parker
Gordon
 
I'd roll the dice on Exum at 4 if he is still on the board. I know Orlando fans want to grab him since they believe he is like the second coming of Penny Hardaway. At 23, it might be traded to move up or for a veteran. 35 is draft euro and stash.
 
Exum says he wants to play point, is Trey someone who we say "He is too good to draft someone else at his position"? No. If you believe Exum is the BPA and has the most potential to be a scorer and franchise changer on this team, you take him.

Playing 2 PGs is a growing trend. I actually kinda like the idea of 2 PGs too. It puts so much pressure on defenses. With the rules the way they are and good posting big men going extinct, I see a 2 PG lineup as a huge plus. They can march to the FT line (because of the no touch rules), break down defenses to create for 3 pt shooters (including stretch 4s), and provide enough entertainment that it doesn't matter if we never win a championship with that core.

I love watching the Rockets, warriors, clippers, and suns play! None of them will win a championship this year but they're sure entertaining as sin!

So I mean, we all hope to win a championship soon. But until then, how about we get some entertaining bball for the next few years? To make up for the last few years of Corbin-Ball?
