This guy deserves his own thread. He will be a nice consolation prize if the Jazz get the 5th pick or lower. If the Jazz were confident that his shooting will improve I might be ok with the Jazz selecting him as high as 3 or 4 (Depending in Embiid's health) Not to mention he doesn't turn 19 until September. I believe he will be the youngest player in the NBA next year.

Can you imagine Aaron Gordon and Favors on the same starting 5? The Jazz's defense would be amazing.

our defense is so bad, that I think I want him the most outside of Wiggins. With him being 18 still, learning to shoot is not outside the realm of possibility. If Jazz don't get Wiggins, I fully support them gambling on Gordon.

Coach K really made me question Parker. I was very high on Parker for almost all of the season, but after seeing how Coach K had to substitute Parker in and out constantly in close games because of his defensive limitations, I got very very troubled. If Parker is that much of a liability on defense, he has no place on our team. The weight issue is also a problem. Parker is very doughy, and might just have that kind of body that just gets worse and worse. He'll be great offensively, but we need 2 way players. If Parker is too slow, he'll be a tweener. Not good.

Gordon is a tweener in a different way than Parker is. Gordon has the speed, handles, passing, and D to play SF, he just can't shoot. Gordon might grow that extra inch too. He'll definitely add more weight.

David Locke never says it bluntly because he doesn't want to get in trouble but basically he thinks Parker with always struggle with his weight since he is half Samoan.

I thought he was Tongan, but point taken.

Who can say what the reason is, but he is a little chubby still.
 
Burke
Hayward
Gordon
Kanter
Favors

Hayward is better at the 2 guard, with his length at that position he can better shoot over the defenders and use his length on the defensive side.

Kanter just needs to use his strength and keep his oppenents from getting to their positions and deep into the paint. Other than that he will never be an elite defender.

I'd also like to see Neto with some minutes with that exact same lineup. Neto cwas speedy, Trey still isn't. I'd like to see our pace increase.

True. But to Corbin's credit, he has been trying to get Trey to speed up all year long. Trey walks the ball up the court because he's still a half court PG. It probably doesn't help that Ty is telling him to hurry it up, and then calls out a set play.

Anyways, I doubt Corbin is extended.

Also, Jeffy can't run consonantly. Put A. Gordon in at SF and that position got 100x faster up and down the court.


Burks
Hayward
A. Gordon
Neto
Evans

^ those are some floor runners.

GSW pick (Payne? Early? Stauskas?)

...that could be pretty sick. I love the length/athleticism of that starting 5.
