If I were the Jazz, I'd have Keyonte in the mix at #9. He has the potential to be a high-level scorer and on-ball self creator who can play at the 1 or the 2. I actually like Bufkin as much or more, but think Keyonte is going to have some big scoring nights.

My targets for #16 are Leonard Miller, Keyonte George, Kobe Bufkin or GG. I assume 1 of the 4 will be available there.

I don't think he goes Mavs unless he really just kills his workouts. He's not as NBA ready as Kessler was.

I highly doubt the Mavs are the ones using that pick.if you are looking at the next 5 years you are going to need a body to throw at Wemby. Might as well start developing him now. OKC will need that.

Well seriously... the mental gymnastics some of yall do to make this not GG's fault or how none of it should reflect on him is comical. Name him GG Teflon cuz nothing sticks to him.

If you watch highlights only, it is easy to like GG. If you watch how he actually plays it makes it much more difficult to do that.

yeah, the idea that you will like him if you watch the game is hilarious. i watched him more times than i care to count and i just a saw a crappy basketball player. basically you will like him if you buy the hype, ignore all the bad and give him the benefit of the doubt that he's young and has a lot of room to improve. in other words if you are optimistic about his potential, you will like GG.

what we saw on the floor when we watched full games and what we saw in the boxscore matched up perfectly and it wasn't pretty.

Right.....I feel like if you watch the film you just as likely or even more likely dislike. Much of the discussion about GG is about his scoring. If you watch the games closely you will also see a guy who's lazy on defense, bad passing, low bbiq, low energy etc.

One of the things I picked out when watching him is that while he as quick feet and a decent first step he also takes a lot of steps to get where he's going. Doesn't have the long strides that can turn a slight advantage into a shot at the rim or free throws, it's easy for the defender to recover or help defense to get in the way. If he was able to make more of an impact with his tools in any way, scoring, rebounding, defense or otherwise I'd be interested. But right now his "talent" just leads to shots he's not very good at making.
