Grantland Article on Exum, Vonleh and Gordon

[infection]

I say draft Gordon then move up and draft McDermott. perfect combo and 1-2 punch.

I'd support this. I think McDermott can actually be a scorer and not just shooter.

Probably cause he already is.

Yea after reading the scout's perspective on the three, I am happy that I have been on the Gordon bandwagon for a while. However, I now am wondering if I should have jumped on the Randle bandwagon. I have never been big on Vonleh. He looks too mechanical and slow to me. With Exum, I just can't evaluate him since he has played so little. I am skeptical because if you can play why are you hiding?


Right now I am ok with either moving up and getting Wiggins or staying put and taking Gordon or Randle.

An aggressive force in the post and a fantastic rebounder, Vonleh is an excellent choice at No. 5 overall.

next Tskitishvili? damn. that's harsh.

Just curious. Those of you who think Gordon can become a respectable shooter. What if you applied the same logic to Marcus Smart? With everything else he brings wouldn't that make him a pretty appealing pick?

Is it messed up that D'Antoni was pumping the guy up when he didn't actually believe what he was selling? It seems like talking to their coaches would actually be pretty worthless at any level across the board unless there are some brutally honest guys out there willing to dish the bad with the good.

1. gordon
2. randle
3. vonleh

for me. we don't need randle because we already have favors/kanter. WE NEED TO IMPROVE DEFENSE.

this is a no brainer.

You don't get college recruits when word gets out that you diss your own players.

Yep. Which is why I'm hoping for Gordon, then Smart, then Randle and last of all Vonleh (assuming of course we can't move up).

To me that's a bit like saying 'fix Sarah Jessica Parker's face and she'd be attractive.'
