Count me in on the Gordon Wagon.

I'd rather move back and grab Stauskas and some additional assets than draft Vonleh or Randle.
 
I've been high on Gordon for a while.(yep, I snort gordons. What can I say I have a problem) As the draft gets closer I am more and more convinced that outside of Parker/Wiggins/Embiid that Gordon is the FOs first choice. I personally think he will be bpa but that is definitely debatable. Don't get too depressed Gordon haters he will be a good fit, not only positionally speaking but culture wise as well. Sure his outside shooting is not tops but we can unleash Kanter to help stretch the floor. Gordon allows us to play big with

Burke
Hayward
Gordon
Kanter
Favors

or small with

Burke
Burks
Hayward
Gordon
Favors/Kanter

After Parker he may be the best "fit" pick in the lotto.
 
He's my fifth guy for sure. I'm not sure I'd take Exum over him (just cause I don't know much about exum). He will immediately make the Jazz a much better defensive team. I can't get excited about Randle, and I think Vonleh has more bust potential. Smart I wouldn't mind, but I like Gordon's attitude and he fills a need.
 
Gordon is moving up my board and my overall projection for him the longer this process plays out. You have to think of all the skills a player could be bad at coming out after his freshman season shooting is probably the easiest to correct. When you consider he's on par athletically with Wiggins and project to be equally as good as a defender I'm starting to put Gordon in the class with Embiid, Parker, and Wiggins.
 
He sounded like a kid who wouldn't mind sticking around in Utah for a while too!!!

This past weekend, I was in Utah. That was really cool. It seems like Utah has a good thing going. The new coach Quin Snyder was there. I got to meet him before players on the Jazz got to meet him. He was sitting on the side while we worked out. I played well. I shot well, and I think I showed them my versatility. I talked to the rest of the staff, and I think I had a good showing.
