But there's a very good chance Vonleh/Gordon are the picks at #5 and #6, or certainly at 7, leaving the Jazz either Smart or Randle.
I'd still take Randle over Gordon. People are looking at Gordon's lack of skills and they think he just oozes potential. They look at Randle's beastly production against double and triple teams and they harp on certain things he didn't do. The idea that Gordon would go ahead of Randle is just strange. It's like Randle is now the guy people love to hate.

Based on college production, McDermott should be the #1 player drafted because he's going to set all kinds of scoring records in the NBA. Nope. You base it on how a player "projects" into his position against NBA-level talent. Randle isn't a "beast" in the NBA. He's an average size PF with a short wingspan who isn't going to be able to "bully" his way to points like did at UK. On the other hand, Gordon is viewed as being a very good defender who would be taller than most opponents IF he can play SF. Granted, there are concerns over his offense, which is why he isn't in the same category as the tier-1 players.

Preach.
Gordon is going to be able to stay on the floor for 30+ minutes a night. Julius won't be able to.

would much rather draft McDermott than Randle. Might as well go balls2thewall if we make a dumb pick.

Both Exum and Vonleh are going to be allstars someday. Not a good idea imo.

That gives you 2 top 8 picks which SHOULD be able to round out your core a year early. If you wanted to keep Burke, you could probably substitute the 2017 GS warriors pick. That way you could select Gordon and McBuckets or Randall. I really wouldn't mind looking over and seeing Landry on the bench either. I'm ready to trade in assets and grow with the players. If we aren't going to sign a big FA, might as well use the capspace.

Aaron Gordon will go as low as ten. I say we do big favor of Sacramento by swapping pics for free. Why do i care we draft Gordon with 5 or 8? It is same result yes so why we not do a favor and make good friend? Small market have to stick together like BYU should have done in mountain west.

If Vonleh is gone, Celtics are taking A. Gordon 6th. Book it.
McDermott is a huge risk at 8 or 9, IMO. I love him in the teens, though.
