i always said randle or gordon, but i finally decided to go with gordon because

1. gordon came in big enough to be my swiss army knife defensively - he would be able to guard 3 & 4
2. he is explosive
3. love his motor
4. he will improve our defensive intensity - will be our defensive leader by year 3
5. we already have favors and kanter. i'm not giving up on them yet.
6. randle has a hand size of a 6ft 1 dude. 8.25 width? that won't even look right. that's friggin my hand size. i'm big on hand size. i hated dante culpepper. hated chad henne. yeah i'm nit picking, but maybe he can't go right because he can't secure the ball well.


so yeah, at #4, i want

1. gordon
2. randle
3. vonleh

in this order



and at #23, most of guys i want would be gone anyway, so why not roll the dice on top 3 athlete of the draft? grobiii has shown that he can play. he is not a total scrub. he will only get better. did every on shooting drills and he did make many key 3's too. good value at #23.

Heck yes, lets get Gordon..........so the other team can play hack a Gordon down the stretch of every close game. How can you people be that high on a small forward that can not shoot? NOTE: As I stated earlier in another thread, I shot 69% from the free throw line as a 9th grader and did not have a shooting coach.
 
My dream?

Wiggins and Michigan's Klay Thompson.

Get us some offense and defense. If Gordon wants to reup to become a Manu lil 6th man, great. Otherwise, let some other team overpay for an athletic wing with a horribly inconsistent jump shot.
 
I'm afraid that GR3 will be lost at 23rd. pick.

My pick at 4th is ....................................................... Joel.

i would be highly surprised if gordon doesn't shoot low 60%'s by his 3rd year. shooting isn't his forte, but dude is young, and he will improve.

i don't expect him to be a force offensively. we need him to be a defensive star.

I like Gordon as well. I don't really disagree with Fabtrey here. I just don't know enough about Exum to like him over Gordon.

I think Gordon can learn to shoot. I like that he plays big. He is an excellent rebounder already. So is Randle though. And also Randle has a little more offensive game. It's tough to say at 4, but I definitely think Gordon is in the discussion.

But wouldn't you say Gordon has more worth and all-star potential because of his incredible athleticism, ball handling, ability to gaurd the or 4, and passing ability? Also, while neithere great shooters in college, A. Gordon did shoot much better from 3.


Right now, A. Gordon's pace of play, ball handling, defense, rebounding, and passing would make us instantly better.

As far as runners, we'd have:

Hayward
Burks
Neto
Evans
A. Gordon
Kanter (for a big man. )
Favors (for a big man).

You've got to think that, with a new coach, would finally tip the scales to start utilizing our teams three biggest advantages:

1. Altitude
2. Athleticism
3. Youth

Salt Lake City would once again be a formidable place to play. Win percentage would go up without even factoring in development. No team could keep up with us at home, especially after a back-to-back.

Yep.

Whoever our next coach is better have lots of running the break as part of his strategy
