Vonleh's ballhandling better than Gordon's? Have any actual game footage proof?

Didn't Durant have that same "weakness" coming out of college?

I don't think so. I remember Bill Simmons talking about loving Durant because he reminded him of MJ having that "rip your heart out" mentality. There's also the fact that Durant put up something like 25 and 11 at Texas, so I doubt he was very passive.

Lamar Odom has the both of them in ball handling
- the Shamgod
i think both Gordon and Noah have good handle at the 4 though
presuming AG has a 'good' or above average handle at SF is an issue for me
again, Vonleh was out of position to show off his ball skills on the perimeter, if you judge by Highschool Aaron Gordons handle is certainly not much better, if it is at all, for the Highschool footage ive seen id have to give the nod to Noah, like i posted before he averaged 7 assists a game as a sophomore, His position at New Hampton, Haverhill and on his AAU team Mass Rivals was infact Point Forward, Noah dribbles the ball very low for someone his size, im not particularly crazy about how high Aaron dribbles the ball tbh
Gordon was 2.8 assists per as a JR and 3.4 per as a SR.
there is no argument about the differences in handle shown in college, Noah however can land on a ****ty NBA team and have way more help/freedom than he did at IU last year.
in an open gym workout im certain Vonleh can do a ton of spectacular dribbling, i cant wait to hear reports and see the footage from workouts.

It seems to me like Darko was the obvious choice to be a top-3 pick. It was basically, LeBron, Darko, and Carmelo. Wade and Bosh would be nice consolation prizes, but you wanted to get in the top-3. Especially when Dirk, Divac, Stojakovic, and Sabonis all were doing well in the NBA, the European influence was strong to find the next big thing.

Jeff Goodman just came out with his 3.0 mock draft today. Has the Jazz taking Randle at #5:
5. Utah Jazz- Julius Randle
The Jazz will likely decide between Randle and Noah Vonleh, but look for them to go with Randle because of his ability to bring a toughness and physical presence from the outset. Randle could coexist with guys such as Derrick Favors and/or Enes Kanter up front.

ok now I am getting excited about vonleh. I want Gordon if we can get mcbuckets.
You mean the same KD who averaged 26 and 11 at 17 years old?
KD is quiet, but he was a killer in college. I was actually a student manager for the Texas basketball team when he played in '06-'07. Silent assassin. Trust me.
Surprised he didn't shoot it well, according to a lot of you guys he has NBA range on his 3 ball.
