While in principle I agree with you, y'all are misunderstanding this 10 lbs thing.

If a guy is 6'3 and 190, and the other guy is 6'5 and 180, then there is a lot more than a 10 pound difference going on.

i said similar sized players and used 6'3-6'6 180-190lbs guys. my point was theres a precedent of players this size. just in the past 2 drafts i count 4 6'5 guys below 190lbs pre-draft that went in the 1st

Jeremy Lamb was taken 12th at 6'5" 179lbs as a sophomore.
MCW taken 11th at 6'6 184lbs as a sophomore
Archie Goodwin went 29th at 6'5" 189lbs as a frosh
Jared Cunningham went 24th at 6'5 188lbs as a junior
 
The agent for young Croatian star Dario Saric has had enough. Robert Jablan believes Saric is ready to play in the NBA and should enter the NBA draft in June. He disagrees with Saric's decision to remain in Europe. And, he is unhappy with the involvement of Saric's father, Predrag Saric, in the process, the prominent European agent told USA TODAY Sports in an e-mail.

Saric, a 6-10 forward who turns 20 on April 8 and is a projected top-10 pick, recently reached a three-year deal with Anadolu Efes of the Turkish Basketball League, according to ESPN, and the deal has an NBA-out after the second season according to Sportando. "Dario Saric is absolutely ready for NBA and that he must be on draft this year. His transfer to Efes or any Europian club is totally unnecessary for him," Jablan wrote. "But I must admit that I as an agent, (I) have a big misunderstanding with his father about Dario´s future career. His father has an opinion that Dario must stay in Europe for next one or two seasons.

"I do not know what will happen in the future. Because of those misunderstanding with his father and his father's attitude, maybe I will not represent him anymore. But I as an agent cannot and do not want to throw (away) my professional beliefs and I do not want to be a part of unprofessional involvements of his father in Dario´s career." Father and son have had their issues, including a public feud, according to NBA.com's 2013 draft profile of Saric.
 
It's not a terrible comparison but AK is nowhere near the athlete Gordon is, and Gordon is already stronger. And he'll only continue to add strength. He has a good frame, work ethic, and is the youngest player in the draft.

Point is, his ceiling is higher than what AK was, imo.

I hear you, but Gordon probably won't ever be as good of a open-floor ball handler
