Following potential 2014 draftees

As a Jazz fan and with the team improving enough to be outside the top 5 draft picks, would you be happy with a draft of Aaron Gordon and Doug McDermott? Both players seem to be good fits with this current core. I can also see the Jazz trading up if possible. With Neto potentially coming over next season, I doubt the Jazz will want 4 rookies (including their second round pick)

Burke Neto
Hayward Burks
McDermott Evans
Favors Gordon
Gobert Kanter

nice young core!
 
The new mock draft on ESPN has us taking Exum with the fifth pick, and Mario Hezonja with the GS pick. I would be stoked on that draft. Probably going to get Aaron Gordon though.

Stauskas might be a little too low. And who is Wuggins?
 
If we can't get Wiggins, Parker, or Embiid, I want Aaron Gordon.

Dude is offensively challenged, but with his athletic ability and IQ I have a hard believing he won't improve tremendously on that side of the ball. His defense and intangibles are great.

One exception would be Exum, but I don't really know/seen enough to have much of an opinion on him.

Nah, Randle over Gordon.

I see Randle as being a lot safer. I just don't see any elite skills. He takes advantage of his size over smaller college guys, but won't have that luxury in the NBA.

Gordon has elite athletic ability, can defend inside/out, and has a high IQ. I see his ceiling as being much higher.
