Aaron Gordon....Are you serious? Disaster.....Disaster.....

Jazz4ever said:
Ibaka vs Gordon? Not a good comp. Gordon will just be a pest. He'll get in a players grill like Harpring could. He'll be a poor mans AK in the lanes, 1 or 2 steals a game. He won't be blocking or altering shots at all. Just too small.

when did i compare gordon to ibaka? i'm just saying defense is important and gordon can be a defensive star. he can be a defensive stopper.

Don't you just love all the posters that ignore the Hack a Gordon argument. How can he help you win in a close game, if he is getting hacked or sitting on the bench? I LOL at all the posters that are so sure he can become a good shooter, that is what we heard about AK year after year............hey he has been working on his shot all summer and adding muscle. Sure there are exception to the rule... but if you can not shoot free throws by college chances are you will never be a good shooter.

18 year old can't improve FT?

This is where he says he's a PF, though he does say he'll play SF if his coach wants him too. I Don't want him to be playing SF right away, because his shot isn't that great. Let him get it better before he is jacking up a lot of bad shots.

No one who drafts Gordon (who is smart) will tell Gordon to be a SF or PF. You don't have him do typical positional things, you have him do Aaron Gordon things.

Gordon has been saying SF or Forward in his most recent interviews. In his latest DX interview, he said something along the lines of "PF and SF are pigeonhole terms, I'm just a basketball player."

What are you going to do if the Jazz don't draft your dream boy....slit your wrist? There are multiple players I could be happy with in the draft, but you can not stand the thought of not getting Gordon. Loosen up bro....be happy we get a chance at several good players in the draft. What are you going to do if Dennis does manage to trade up? You expect Lindsey to take Gordon with a top 4 pick?
 
Jazzafns don't want to wait for
Gordon to develop but are still waiting and praying on that scrub Kanter. Took you guys forever to realize that Doufos was not going become anything special. A kid like Gordon you draft on his potential and lets face it he has a ton of potential,. This the type of player that can guard the best player in the game James. SMH at you arm chair talent scouts. Better go ask PKM what his "sources" are saying.lol

Jeff Green guards Lebron well and also dropped 43 on him, hes taller, longer and selected 5th overall... what separates Gordon from Jeff Green? other than 1.5 rebounds per game and 40 FT percentage points

Mostly his motor and his bbiq.

Also his athleticism (though green is athletic too, gordon is an elite athelete despite his combine vert)

Plus i think gordon will be bigger.

I think gordon is a better ball handler, passer and rebounder too.

Also a better defender.

Also is 18

Basically gordon is > green at everything except shooting

youd characterize Gordons defense as considerably better than Greens? Ive been watching Kawhi Leonard struggle vs Durant, Gordon is a good defender yes but i think the impact of his D is being vastly overrated.

Jeff Green led georgetown in assists as a Sophomore and Jr, and averaged 1 more assist than Gordon as a freshman

I guess maybe we will have to wait until gordon is over 18 to really know for sure. Jeff green was probably over 18 in his sophmore and junior years at georgetown and certainly was when he defended lebron well.

Jeff green was in fact a pretty good player with lots of upside when he was with the thunder..... then never really improved much.

Maybe he doesnt have the drive or the work ethic and motor needed tk be an all star level guy.

hopefully gordon does

I'm not an unblinded Aaron Gordon homer, I know he's got a lot to work on. However, yes, he has better handles than Green in that video. Gordon has a pretty mean crossover. Goes either direction with either hand. One hand passes off the dribble.

That being said, I think most college players have to improve dribbling coming up to the NBA.

Everyone is overrating his D as well. He's a good defender and works hard, can defend multiple positions, but he's not an NBA great defender yet. Not a Bruce Bowen. He plays a bit far off people, relying on his jumping to really contest the shot. That's going to get exploited for a while in the NBA.
 
Lol

Yes.

Jeff Green is exactly what this team needs. With Jeff Green we will destroy the Thunder and Spurs next year and sweep the Heat. Just look at how Boston "gave up" all star Perkins for him. Just look at how many championships Green has brought Boston. Lebron is basically a poor man's Jeff Green.
 
Lol.

This board...

So Aaron Gordon is something of a mix of Ibaka, AK, Griffin, and now Jeff Green.

Thank you jazzfanz for your totally accurate comparisons...
