Dont worry, they said the same thing about Kanter and Hayward and look where they are today.

 

[Bodhi]

Because he isn't is as good as Carmello.

Carmello today or out of Syracuse? Because one is true and one is false.

I still rank Jabari ahead of Gordon, but I wouldn't be shocked if Aaron ended up better. Ive always like Aaron Gordon. I think he is going to be real good.

Im just glad we are going to have a shot at someone good. This draft is a good top6 heavy maybe even top8 heavy.

Aaron does that potential. He could be a really good player, all-star, blake griffin type. Thats one of the allures in drafting him.

I still think Parker is more of a sure thing, and a pretty complete player. Maybe the defense is where Gordon is ahead of him. Jabari can still make plays on defense.
He'll still swat people, get some steals, and get some ket stops. I wouldnt write him off completely as being a decent defender

I haven't seen Gordon play. I'd assume he scores well on the JazzFanz Boner Scale (a metric that is directly proportional to athleticism and inversely proportional to fundamentals or natural talent).

It's a shame we never got to see our speed & athleticism tear apart the league:

Shröder
Brewer
Jan Vesely
Biyombo
Saer Sene

Jabari Parker has more scoring in the paint than Carmello. Carmello is mostly a pull-up shooter these days. They aren't all that similar, except that they're both 6'8" and can shoot.

Gordon is nothing like Griffin and everybody needs to drop the comparison.

Griffin was a terrible defender coming into the league. He's passable now. What makes Griffin special is his ability to score from a variety of different ways.

Gordon is a terrible offensive player. He might get to the point where you can completely ignore him all game long. Gordon could be an elite defender in the league. He's also shorter and weaker than Griffin.

The only comparison they have is athleticism and being Mullatos. That is it, end of story.

the jazz desperately need a focal point in the offense

Aaron Gordon means more offense by committee

This is what does it for me.

Right now we need more defenders, but we need someone we can build an offense around even more.

Defenders can be found later. This is by far our best chance to get a #1 option, imo. That's not to say Gordon couldn't develop his offensive game, but he's never going to be a guy you build an offense around.
