Please Let This Be True

The way I see it. A-God's ceiling is a franchise player. His floor is an Iggy, Marion, AK type. Pretty good pick IMO.

I hate comps. But there you have it.

You are mincing meaning. I already clarified what I meant. I take objection to the Rodman comp, because it insinuates A-God is just a rebounder/defender, when he is really good at so much more. As for what his NBA career will bring? Time will tell. Rodman is a horrible comp, that is all.

Gordon won't be as good of a rebounder as Rodman either so I'm not sure its a good comp. I still think Shawn Marion is the comp. Not a franchise player, but certainly a good piece to the puzzle.

Yeah, I don't think he will be that Rodman type rebounder either. All around, it is just a bad comp.

I see franchise potential in A. Gordon. Marion as floor, or mid-level. If he doesn't reach his full potential, I still see him as a really, really good player that helps us win. With all of his shooting flaws, his team was still ranked #1 for like 8 straight weeks. That has to tell you something about how he impacts the game.

That's fair. Until I looked back, I thought you had made the original comparison.
 
Payton is gonna be good as well. I'd rather gamble on Lavine though, since Lavine is the better shooter, is taller, and is one of the best athletes in the draft. Huge boom or bust with Lavine.

Lavine is like the Exum pick, except he is a better shooter, faster, jumps higher, and won't cost you nearly as much.

I can see this. I think Locke said he is the PF version of Joakim Noah. He does and will do a lot of things that don't show up on the box score that help you win. Noah's stats are good, but when you watch him you realize that he just puts his stamp on the game.

I also liked that Gordon played better in the tournament and didn't shy away from the moment. The Wisconsin game was probably the second best college game all year. He struggled shooting that game, but still was a monster on the glass.

Assuming we stay at 5 I want Gordon and then move up to get Payton. Payton is worth the gamble.

Agreed. we don't need/want 3 rookies. We need to keep the 5 and see how far the 23+35 can move us up. There is definitely some talent to be had late in the lottery.
