Ultimate Showdown: Jabari Parker Vs Aaron Gordon

[enchilada_style]

Shooting is probably the one skill that's has the greatest track record of improving. It's not like hoping he gets taller or his wing span grows over night. In your anology it's like a fine *** women with that dresses poorly and wears too much make-up. She's just young and don't know any better.

I don't disagree with you. It appears that he has a mental hurdle he needs to overcome which is pretty apparent at the free throw line. I'm assuming if the Jazz choose him they also think his shot is something they can fix over time.

If we're going to say we can overlook those things and realize that, without those flaws, then we wouldn't be able to obtain him, what would this same analogy say about Jabari? "ZOMG CANT DEFEND CARDBOARD CUTOUT!!11 LOLZ"

If Jabari is really there at 5 I think we have to take him and figure everything else out. And I love Aaron Gordon. Don't know where the 17 ppg thing came from. Gordon is more like a 14 ppg guy.

If Jabari is there at 5, I think it's a no-brainer. The question becomes if you're willing to pay any price to move up to get Jabari vs. sitting tight at 5, taking Aaron Gordon (who is still a very good player, but not the offensive star that Jabari should be) and just adding him to the talented group of young players currently on the team.
