So 18 year old can't improve shooting? And prime Shawn Marion was pretty damn good despite not shooting well either. I think Gordon will be better shot blocker and passer than Marion ever was. Might not be as good rebounder or scorer.
By the way not that I care what your friend says as I have no clue what his basketball credentials are but I would like to see what his description of Exum would be. Prime S.Livingston?

Well if Gordon can improve his shooting why can't Exum?

@ESPNNBA: As individual workouts begin, no prospect's stock is rising faster than Noah Vonleh, writes @chadfordinsider.

Sixers take him? Leaving Jabari and exum???

He's a 6'10" guy who can defend, rebound, handle the ball all the way down the floor, finish at the rim and shoot jumpers. Plus, he can't be as dimwitted as Lamar Odom.

Could be a smoke screen too tbh.

Yep, it might. Idk.. something about him that doesn't really convince that he'll do well in the league. In my mind it's screaming Hilton Armstrong. Vohleh will probably be the one that will really struggle the most in his rookie year.
 
I really like Smart because of his attitude, ability to defend, and insane FT rate as well as off the charts predictive metrics based on his outstanding D.

I would also like Gordon, largely because I once again love his attitude. We need some nasty guys on this team, way too many softies.

Exum would probably be my choice if he's there, but I wouldn't fault taking Smart over him.

I agree. Way too many softies. We need someone that will make people say, 'oh his a bad man!'

This seems an awful lot like a comparison to me.

I especially put the phrase of "performance wise" while I was writing it, to avoid a comparison.

But if it is still looking awful lot like a comparison to you, I'm saying now that it wasn't my intention, and I'm saying they are not similar or alike in any areas. I didn't try to compare Vesely's background and his produce with Saric's background. I just tried giving an example of poor performance. It would have been Shved as well, or not a European player at all.

I tried awful lot to state that they are not comparable at all. They are completely different players, with different background and projections.
 
I like Smart a lot. I think a lot of teams are also going with a two point set up at times. Smarts defense and hustle are off the charts. Our perimeter defense needs a lot of help and Smart could be the best defensive point in the whole draft. I don't really see the point in going after Aaron Gordon because we have Favors.
