Dante Exum's 3/4 court sprint time of 3.19 is better than Chris Paul (3.22), Steph Curry (3.28), Damian Lillard (3.34).


Exum's lane agility of 10.75 is faster than John Wall, Kemba Walker, Ty Lawson and Lillard.

those drills mean nothing. Burke had a 3/4 court sprint time of 3.16 and every claims he's too slow.

Have you seen Derrick Rose lane agility numbers? And Doug McDermott and Cody Zellers has more hops than Blake Griffin. Those numbers are so flawed.
 
Kinda strange how Exum is the expert's clear favourite at the #4 pick but most JazzFanz will take Gordon over Exum?



Is it because we haven't had a dunker since the 80's????

It's just difficult judging guys who haven't played against unknown level's of talent. Who a player plays affected how impressive they look.
 
I think Exum has the potential to be a superstar but also is more likely to be a bust.
I think Gordan will be an excellent defensive player but struggle on the offense. I think he has the potential to be an all star in the league.

I voted for Exum
 
Ultimate 2-way player would be the best offensive player and best defensive player at the same time. So, Lebron James, but better.

I think that's Aaron Gordon's potential. Seems reasonable.

I think it was Locke and many other people I have heard say there are more good point guards in the league than any other position. Because there are more guys 5'11" to 6'4" that come into the league than any other size. Kawhi Leonard is the future of the Spurs franchise not Tony Parker.

That's not what I'm saying.



I'm saying, if you can choose 1 player at the start of their careers - who would you choose? Parker or Kawhi??? Parker did win all those Chips and Kawhii had a couple of good Finals game but he hasn't actually won anything YET.

So is Tony Parker a Hall of Fame candidate?

Tony Parker is by far the better player than Leonard. It's not even close. Tony Parker is a hall of famer. I don't think Leonard will ever sniff the HOF.

I don't even see how that's a debate really.

Tony Parker is so underrated. He has been his whole career. People should really debating if he is the best point guards in the game. Even one of the best players. All he does is win. Arguably the best player on the best team in the world.

Leonard just scored a career high last game of 29.

Tony Parker was winning championships and finals mvps before Leonard ever came around.

Yeah, also it seems like every Championship team needs that 1 locked down player at the wing position to succeed:

Kobe's Lakers: Ron Artest
Spurs: Bruce Bowen/Leonard
Mavs: Shawn Marion
Heats: LeBron
Bulls: Pippen

Jazz would probably need 1-2 more star player though unless Gordon develops into some sort of offensive threat..

This.


If Exum shows Parker's potential (smart, dicing and slicing, with an improving shot) you've gotta take him.
 
Gordon vs Exum.

That is tough. Like Cy said, it's so hard to know who Exum is or how good he is. I'm just trusting what the scouts are saying. If he wasn't just placed at the top of mocks, I really wouldn't know about him.

I lean Gordon just for the possibility that he might fill that 3 hole. I don't really care for some point guard controversy between Exum and Burke, with one or both not happy, and looking at waiting period to see what move we need to make. With Aaron Gordon, we can just hit the ground running possibly.
 
Gordon Will be able to guard Blake in a year or so. Clippers are in the west. Khawhi Leonard with Spurs for the forseeable future so Gordon can guard him. Best scoreer in the game at okc, Durantula. Gordon can guard him. Plus Gordon will make Utah a little more Flashier which lets face it Utah plays boring bball to the general public(not us actual fans who love the game). Constant ESPN Highlight Dunks and Blocks by Gordon.. Its an easy choice Utah.
 
I like Gordon, but I don't think he has the same offensive ceiling that Exum has.

Definitely going Exum. His playmaking potential is thru the roof. I have nothing against Gordon either. I'll be fine with the Jazz picking him, but less so if Exum is on the board. And this is from someone who still wants Smart.

Tony Parker is the Eli Manning of Basketball.

You forget he is one of the best at his position during the regular season, then when he gets in the playoffs he just dominates. Obviously Manning doesnt do it as consistently because there is more parity in the NFL.
