I like both quite a bit.

I love Vonleh. More than Kanter and Favors when they were 18. At 6'10 240 he's got touch, elite length, and very quick feet for his size. He could guard 2's on the parameter. Indiana switched everything on defense and it was not a big issue.

But Exum is also very Intriguing. He's lightning quick and he has great size at 6'6. He'll get into the lane at will and many believe he's a real PG that can play the 2. And if you listen to Exum speak, he's got some alpha male leadership characteristics. very articulate. Seems very well thought.

I think both Vonleh and Exum have a great chance to be Allstars eventually.

I'm leaning more toward Exum right now. I think he'll be really exciting to watch and will have more of the leadership qualities that this team really needs. He'll also be a guy that can get into the paint dish it back out.

Those that hate on Exum (AKMVP and Yamers), I think you'll be proven wrong. He's got some skills. He's gonna be really good.

Can't see it being anyone other than Exum or Vonleh if we stay at 5. Maybe Gordon but he's a distant choice at this point imo.

Exum or Vonleh? Discuss.
 
It's a little hard to predict. Due to the fact that the Jazz seem to have no interest in Smart, I wonder if Smart isn't their target.
 
I would take Vonleh. Mostly because I'm more sold on Burks being a really good player than Kanter. If 2 players are seemingly pretty equal take the guy who fills more of a need. Also I think Hayward will be retained and having Burks, Burke, Hayward, Neto and Exum is a lot of guys for 2 spots.
.
The Jazz should take the guy that they think will be the better player in the long run. For me I hope that is Vonleh because of our roster.
.
I can't decide between Vonleh and Gordon though. I am leaning towards Gordon as the 5th pick I want most.
.
In the end I'll be happy with this draft to begin with unless they sell the farm for Parker. I'm not sold on him being more that a really good scorer and defensive liability. Sell the farm for Wiggins or Embiid (if his back is okay), but not for Parker.
 
this poll is stupid!! you give only two choices (your choices). Exum and vonleh are not the only choices. There are at least three other VIABLE options. 1. Gordon 2. Trade out of the 5 spot or 3. Trade up.

If the poll is - "assuming we stay at 5 then who?" then you have to include Gordon.

Please fix immediately so I can make the correct pick.

Unless of course he is gone and thats why we have the option of Vonleh and Exum.
 
I can not decide between exum and vonleh. But I have the exact same feelings as the op. Gordon is the wild card if we stay at five, but it is likely between vonleh and exum. That is, barring any crazy chance Jabari slides to us.
 
What if I told you the Jazz are going to trade the pick? If Exum is there the pick will get moved.
Unless one of the top 3 slide. I predict a trade.

you could make the same argument regarding Vonleh and Exum.

The hypothetical is that the choice is between Exum and Vonleh. You can make your own hypothetical regarding if it's between exum/Gordon, or Vonleh/Gordon (although it's already been done). I never said made an argument for anything, I only proposed an option to where there Gordon won't be an option and Exum/Vonleh are.

Then the title of your thread should not have been "At #5 who will it be Exum or Vonleh" this implies that the two choices are the ONLY choices. Instead it might have been "In a hypothetical world where the only options left at #5 are Exum or Vonleh Who you gonna take?". By properly titling your thread, it would alleviate any Douche's (like me) need to point out flaws.

I haven't seen any reputable mocks or analysts that have us taking Gordon. I think we have to start being realistic that he's not what DL and the staff want.

That said, if we're comparing Vonleh and Exum, we have to think about upside.

Exum's Ceiling = Penny Hardaway

Vonleh's Ceiling = Chris Bosh
