Noah's had a substantial change in his body in the past year compared to these other prospects (pics below), he could still be growing aswell hes 22 days older than Aaron Gordon with size 17 shoes and massive hands
from 2011 to 2013 Vonleh has grown 2" and added about 50lbs, he measured 6'9.75 in shoes last year, theres a chance he could keep adding size and end up massive. he went from Gordon Hayward size to Al Horford with a 4" bigger reach, in just a few years.
He'll be a tall, long PF like Lamarcus Aldridge or Chris Bosh. He might end up playing some center too.
How do you know that Gordon can't start at SF or PF in the NBA? You are assuming he will be a bench player. No? Of course the Jazz want to get a starter, but they are not intentionally going to draft a bust. You pick the BPA and if Gordon is that player then it is the coaches and players job to adjust. There are no guarantees that any player will become the superstar all Jazz fans dream about. I am just warning you now so you don't get overwhelmed with disappointment. No man up, things will get better.
We're all just projecting at this point. Can he bulk up and be as explosive, ala Blake? On the flip side, could he become a more well-rounded player and slot in at the 3 consistently when the lineup calls him to? These are all the question marks surrounding him.
If the answer to either of those questions is emphatically "YES" - I think he'll be in the conversation as the top 4 prospects. But to me it's just a "maybe" at this point, hence he can probably be picked up in the 6th - 8th range.
Whatever bro.
I've drawn the line in the sand in the past before: Pumping Kanter in that Kanter vs Knight argument.
Standing up for MCW when most were on the McCollum/Porter bandwagon.
I like calling it as I see it, and this year I've made it clear my most overrated player (for where he is projected in the 4-8 range) is Marcus Smart. Aaron Gordon I don't mind so much because there is potential there.
We'll just have to wait and see, but I haven't been, and definitely won't be shy making these bold predictions.

Who are the 8 players you take over Marcus Smart?
Why are they better prospects than Marcus Smart?
What don't you like about Marcus Smart?
Anybody can make predictions, lets get some analysis behind your crap, please.

Perhaps this is just your poor reading comprehension again, but this is the "Following potential 2014 draftees" thread. Lets keep it that way.
If you would like to ask that question, or something similar, take it to the General Discussion board, please. I would rather not ruin/sully one of my favorite threads on this board with your petulance.
I know you can handle yourself but I think you have made a lot of good evaluation of players in the past. I definitely agree on the Smart thing. I was neutral on MCW and really wasn't on the Porter bandwagon. I liked CJ but was worried about his foot injury. I worried about MCW ability to shoot and I was wrong. I wanted Kanter and never wanted Knight.
It doesn't matter because even the GMs get it wrong. No one has a perfect record.

That's what it seemed like in his scouting report. I wouldn't be terribly excited about Vonleh either. Not as our tank prize.
I just don't like my starting PG (and that's who he'll be picking him that high) who have these attributes:
- Question mark over his handle, low assist/TO ratio
- Question mark over his 3pt shooting (and shooting in general)
- Doesn't have a great court vision
- Limited athletically (his best move is backing down an undersized guard, won't work in the NBA)
- Not quick due to his build/size (for the PG position)
I'd rather have someone like Burke running the point, quick, good change of speed, solid Assist/TO ratio, can knock down the open 3's.
I've been waiting for Smart to surprise me this year. But he hasn't really done it. He's still shooting 30% from college 3's. 74% FT shooting. 42% FG percentage overall. To me that just won't do.
Just my opinion though, I know lots of people here love Smart - I'm totally fine with that, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
