Following potential 2014 draftees

I have a problem with the things that are highlighted.

1. His handles aren't that good, and shoots too well, I think not. (biggest weakness)

2. I don't even think he's worth 7 or 8. My best case is 15, and most likely only worth 20-25. All he will do is take away the paint, because no one will fear his shot, just like when Brewer was here. Yes this will allow him to slash and get shots at the rim, but that means he will get fouled most of the time as the defender will be waiting for him, and what a surprise, he misses over half his ft's. I have a feeling his, and MKG's scouting reports are very similar, athletic, great defense, IQ, passing, bad shooting.

Many are justifying Gordon's weaknesses due to character, and work ethic, and high IQ, and saying he will improve leaps and bounds because of these traits, well MKG had all these traits, and it has only allowed him to improve slightly.

This doesn't mean he will bust, but it's just as likely he will be just a glue guy or role player as he is to be a Allstar or very good player. I don't see how we can justify taking him top five or even top ten.



Good post and very eye popping numbers

While I'm not really an Aaron Gordon fan I think MKG comparison is a little bit unfair, as MKG got drafted into a team that is bottom 5 in stretching the court and since last year getts the majority of their points out of the low post. I think you'd take him if you have a team that has good spacing even if you risk that he's having too much success cutting and that distracts him from improving his shooting.

33.5% more PPG is fairly significant, along with over double the steals blocks.

It's actually 50% more PPG or 33% less ;) #maths

Stopped listening when he was pronouncing Exum as X - C - M

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

as far as Gordon's scoring goes he was 4th or 5th option on that team that was stacked with chuckers.

What?

Arizona had no chuckers. Did you ever watch them? They where a very balanced offensive team and to designate any of them as a numbered option, other than Nick Johnson, would be wrong.
 
We are going to get Jabari. At the number 1 pick. We will trade kanter and burks with some future picks to Cleveland. Then we get vonleh at five.






















Yep, green passed the drugs my way.
 
You have to like it when a player can give you an honest and correct critique of himself and then tell you what he is doing to fix it. Will he? At the least we know his head is in the right direction and I think with that mindset and hours his ft becomes respectable.
