Following potential 2014 draftees

I like you Catch, but Harrison Barnes as a comparison to Vonleh and Brewer to Gordon? Huh? Vonleh is in no way a 3. None.

I think you look at Vonleh's ceiling as Aldridge.

I know it's high school, and all these guys look good in high school, but this shows how comfortable he was on the perimeter.

I'm biased because I know the Jazz need an SF. I do see some Harrison Barnes and Rashard Lewis in his game, especially if you look at his HS stuff. By referring to Ronnie Brewer, I mean Gordon is a guy whom defenders will back off of, and who will score off of cuts. Gordon's obviously the better defender.

Being a GM in the 5-8 range... tough job.

FWIW PG_AB has been literally talking about Vonleh since he was in high-school. I've kinda followed him, and I'm like 80% sure he'll be the classic big that everyone says "how did he slip that far" in a couple years.

Do you like his face, btw?

Nickkk, how does Vonleh score on the #Hungry scale?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

I'm hoping someone takes Julius Randle top 4.

In theory it shouldn't happen, but Anthony Bennett went #1 last year, so....

Of the players in question I would rank them:

1. Randle
2. Gordon
3. Vonleh


Rebounding stats tells me Vonleh is a hustler and a hard worker, but Randle & Gordon both seems to have that extra gear that they shift into late game or what have you, that seems to push their teams over the top. Vonleh does have that quiet unassuming demeanour, but I do question whether he wants it bad enough like Randle/Gordon does.

Right now, if we were to get the 5th pick, it would be between Smart and Gordon for me.

It has always been between gordon, randle, and vonleh for me...... in that order
