Yah, I think they're looking HARD at him at 5.
If he can shoot - that's gonna be an absolute steal of a pick.
Aaron Gordon was in SLC today....

BTW - I wouldn't be surprised if the workout consists of shooting, shooting and ..... more shooting.
Boozer needed a heart, AK needed courage, and all Corbin needed was a brain, but alas...

Favors just needed to develop a little offense to be amazing
Kanter just needed to play a little defense to be amazing
Hayward just needed to be more consistent
etc, etc, etc.
When a player has been balling all their life and STILL does not have such an important component, it's not an easy task to add it.

So all of our young guys are done developing?.......
Damn they all hit the prime of their careers pretty fast.

That's funny, especially since my daughter is in the Wizard of OZ this week. I worked props last night and will be watching her perform later today.
However, you have to remember, "OZ never did give nothing to the Tinman, that he didn't, didn't already have..."
So maybe Quin can come in and unlock the talents the current Jazzmen have, but couldn't quite unleash under the old regime." I think most of us were singing the "Ding, Dong" song when Dorothy Lindsey rid us of that awful witch of a coach.

I was just pondering this. He is really great at so many other things, why isn't his shot better with all the work he puts in? I am hoping that if the Jazz do draft him they can find someone to improve his shooting.

Didn't say that at all.
But to assume - or hope - Gordon goes from being a terrible shooter to an all-star is a HUGE presumption. If his shooting improves similarly to Favors', the Jazz have drafted a nice rotation player (who will take a couple of years to get there), but not an all-star. I'm not all that high on Gordon. If the pick at #5 is Aaron, I'd rather see the Jazz bring in Deng and trade down to pick up McDermott.McBuckets is above elite as a shooter. He won't start, but he'll be the perennial 6th man of the year.
