Watching Vonleh right now

I just turned it on. Didn't know he was playing.

If Vonleh gets some perimeter skillz he's got some serious beast potential. Very interesting player

Good God, how does Rayvonte Rice still have eligibility?

Holy ****! There are 4 i's in eligibility

my understanding was can there be a frnachise player in the 7 to 10 range.

He was asking WHO is a franchise player at 7-10, not if there is one or not.
He wants a name

Fixed

lil pup is no alpha dog, but he is still very talented and showed wide range of skill sets. he just can't seem to put it all together, but he can grow with Trey.

and reports said he improved his vertical up to 42 inches and couldn't measure his hops with 12 ft 3 inch stick.

Young has not been outstanding but your post was simply dickish.

Against Louisville, Young had 18pts, 10rbs, 4asts, 1 stl, 1blk.. while drawing tough defensive assignments (2PF's and 2TO's).

Not the chucking one-dimensional player you just pigeon-holed.

In his very short career, he is shooting 34% from 3. Not good, but it's not alarming enough to ignore his career 45%+ shooting in HS.

To summarize, I'm not sure what to make of Young yet... but I couldn't let you call him CJ Miles.

And yes.. he's 6'7

I loved the way he hit the glass in the absence of Randle when they needed rebounding in that Louisville game, but he was also 5-17 FGs. On the season he's at 38% FGs and 34% 3pt - both are CJ Miles type numbers. 34% from the college three is not good. On the season he's also getting just 4 rebs - not terrible, but not good either for a guy playing 31 mpg and most of his minutes at SF. I'm not sure what to make of Young yet either - these guys are all so young - but I would like to see him be a lot less selfish being surrounded by talented teammates like he has.

one thing you have to look at when it comes to shooters is form. Also desire to get better. Young has great form and seems to have a comeptitve fire.

IMHO I think the Jazz are at league average or above league average at every position with the young guys but one, and that is the small forward position which I think should be our main focus in this draft and if we are drafting top 3 the two small forwards we obviously look at there are Parker or Wiggins. If we land in the 7-10 range then I like the small forwards in this order from that position Young because of his scoring potential and his athleticism to stay in front of his man on the defensive side, Gordon and Hood are a toss up for me, Gordon reminds me of a power forward trying to play the small forward position kind of like another lottery pick that came out of the same school in Derrick Williams, Gordon is a mix of Derrick Williams and Blake Griffin because of his athleticism and dunking ability but can't shoot a lick from the free throw line. This is why I would lean more towards Hood.

Hood over Gordon? The hell? Not even OG hates Gordon that much.

45% from the free throw line, that scares me and especially if he thinks he is a small forward in a power forward body, puts up nice numbers, can jump out of the gym, and highlight reel dunks. What this team needs is a deadly shooter and a man that can play decent defense, Aaron Gordon's offensive game specifically his outside shooting is borderline pathetic. I don't know how he shoots 38.9% from three maybe because he barely shoots one per game. What this team needs is someone who can hit multiple threes and jump shots and hit his free throws when called upon.

I'd say he's a PF stuck in a SF's body.

I don't love the guy, and I agree he isn't a great fit with our current group, but he IS very talented and athletic. If he's BPA, you take him.

I guess you have to take him at a certain point, but derrick williams has soured me on gordon and I have not even seen gordon play yet.

Is the derrick williams comp something to really worry about or is that a bad comp
