There may be some things Leonard does better than Gordon but basically the same player coming out of college. I will say it again if Aaron Gordon can hit the corner 3 40+% then he will be one of the top 3 players in this draft, if not the best player! There I said it, I think Aaron Gordon could be the best player in this draft, his work ethic and non stop motor on the court leads me to believe Aaron will develop a nice shot because Aaron will work for it, and heck he is only 18. Something also stood out to me in the Walt Perrin interview yesterday after workouts was that "most players coming into the league don't play any defense or don't know how to play defense correctly" which is why they have to be leaning toward standing pat and just letting Aaron Gordon just fall to them, because I won't even say if he develops a shot but when he does, Aaron Gordon will be the best player in this draft. The kid can still grow at 18 years old, I grew two inches on my mission from 19 to 21 years old. Aaron Gordon could end up being as tall as Durant, almost 7 feet tall. Here is the interview by Walt Perrin yesterday...

IF he learns to shoot, IF he isn't a tweener, IF he grows a couple of more inches. If if and buts were candy and nuts every day would be Christmas.
 
If you want to be even more positive and Spurs centric, Aaron Gordon = Kawhi Leonard + Boris Diaw.

Gordon has the chance of developing his playmaking skills ala Diaw.

Grows a couple inches? Dufuq? He's just under 6 9'. That's plenty tall for a SF. And I can't believe there are some that are questioning him being a 3 still. He has the athletic ability and handles to do great there. Can't think of any 3 he couldn't guard.

I agree, athleticism like Leonard but length and handles of Diaw because Diaw was a point coming into the league, Aaron played point forward in high school, probably a lot of iso a lot of everyone clear out of the way and let Aaron go to work, lol.

We already got Trey and I think Trey is still going to be better than a lot of people think. So I take Gordon because he might be able to guard all five positions if asked to, not at once but could guard 1-5 don't think you can say that about Exum, too many question marks around Exum, he scares me because I don't know who he is as a player.q
