Official 5th Pick Poll (Who Ya Got)

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

Now watch Danny Ainge be sneaky and try to trade to from #6 to #4 to draft Vonleh ahead of the Jazz.

Putting words into my mouth!

Gordon will never be Blake, and Blake will never be Gordon. They are COMPLETELY different players. I guess because they are around the same height and jump really high everyone wanted to make comparisons. You draft Vonleh if your looking for a 4, you draft Gordon if you are looking for a 3.

I agree

 

[fishonjazz]

Gordon is a SF who can't score.

Untrue..... he doesnt score in the traditional ways that a traditional small forward scores

 

[fishonjazz]

Starting to seem pretty clear that top four are Embiid, Parker, Wiggins, Exum.

I think this has been clear for like 6 months or so

 

[fishonjazz]

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.

Penny hardaway is exums best ceiling comp imo

OK You may be right there.
I think I meant he can't shoot.
It seems like a SF has to be able to shoot.
So can he be an effective SF without a shooters touch?

Gordon shot 36% from three this year, Hayward shot 37% from three in his career at Butler. A. Gordon's form isn't bad at all, definitely not too worried at all.

Your right.
I think it will be almost impossible for anybody to pry one of those picks away from the current four teams.
The top four players workouts etc are making them look untouchable.

This is a good question and i dont have the answer.

He is a risky pick but the one i would choose for many reasons

 

[colton]

I'm not taking someone who airballs free-throws at #5.

Thanks.

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

Nobody thought Kobe was gonna be Kobe when 13 teams passed on him neither.
