Official 5th Pick Poll (Who Ya Got)

[The Midnight]

I'm now starting to like Vonleh a bit more than Exum. I think he's going to be hard to guard. He has the jumper, a pretty good first step, and a strong finish at the rim with pretty elite length. He's going to score on 3s and 4s.

Depends who you project them to be. If you're projecting Vonleh as an Aldridge type talent (his jumper is just un-guardable), then that's raised the bar pretty high.


On the other hand, if you're projecting Exum to have a Kobe/Jordan-esque type talent, then all bets are off IMO.

And the dumb ones tend to be the loudest.

To quote the late great Kurt Cobain, I wish I was like you....easily amused.

I'd be happy with Vonleh or Exum. Looking like the top 5 are:

Embiid
Wiggins
Jabari
Exum
Vonleh

Hmmmmm.

Starting to seem pretty clear that top four are Embiid, Parker, Wiggins, Exum.
All four are untouchable and none of the top four should trade their pick.
Jazz and everybody else will have no chance at moving up.

Starting to favor Vonleh over Gordon.

(I reserve the right to change my mind 1,000 more times before draft night)

Well Jabari will be traded to the Jazz...

LOL.. what???? You're like 3-4 months late on that assessment.

There are some who still think one of those four could fall to #5 for Jazz.

That or what they're really saying is we trade #5 and #23 to get to #4 and grab Exum, which effectively means we got Exum with the #5 pick.



Toe-meh-toe. Toe-mar-toe. Same thing.

If Exum is the next Kobe why would Orlando not take him?

 

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

It's silly to compare Exum to Kobe. My expectation is that his role is like the young Shaun Livingston's, but he has some of Leandro Barbosa's quickness. He's a combo guard, not a pure SG, and he's not an above-the-rim player.

I think Exum and Vonleh will be neck and neck on draft boards.

If Vonleh looks like a taller, longer version of Kawhi Leonard, I could see Dennis Lindsey falling in love with him.
