Aaron Gordon, a No. 5 Pick?

Gordon, Vonleh or Exum. The Jazz are kind of in no man's land sitting at 5.

It's still a 3 player draft, but I personally think that the options for the Jazz in that 2nd tier are a LOT better than we've been giving them credit for.

Clearly my preference is to just take Aaron Gordon and then do what you have to do (coaches, support and roster wise) to help him develop into the best possible version of himself. I think that he's in that 1st Tier group if he develops his offensive game. Simple as that.
 
I get a little tear in my eye when I see all the people I've helped convert to A-God.

I've been Vonleh and then Gordon for quite some time. Still am, though I see some value to having Gordon instead of Vonleh...if there are no other changes on the team. However, I could see the Jazz taking Vonleh, who IMO would be the BPA, and then using other assets to acquire a FA.

BTW, and this will make Hotttnickkk extremely happy, Vonleh sees himself as a stretch-4 right now, but talks about also playing the 3 eventually.
 
I like Gordon at the 3 much more than Vonleh. I just don't see NV guarding smaller, faster guys on the perimeter. I can totally see Aaron Gordon in that role, but not Vonleh.

Agreed. Not to say he couldn't do it situationally like Sap, he just isn't built for it full time. Not fast enough, doesn't have the passing, etc.

Yes, I see Gordon as a 3 who could also play against backup 4's. I don't see NV as a 3, at all. I was just funning because kkk likes to turn everyone into a SF.

Vonleh is more of a 5 then he is a 3.
 
Why would we want him if he isn't going to workout for us?
so if lebron was in this draft but chose not wirkout for us and we found ourselves in a position to draft him then we shouldnt?

take the best player regardless of if he worked out for us or not. if wiggins is there, take him. its a no brainer
 
Fwiw and not sure if already mentioned, Kawhi was considered a limited shooter in college.
and he got tore up by the jimmer multiple times.
