Following potential 2014 draftees

You know, it's early, but Aaron Gordon actually reminds me a bit of Grant Hill in terms of athleticism and physicality. Not sure if Gordon has the intangibles and IQ yet.

You're normally dead on, but, imo.. that is a dreadfully horrid comparison. lol

I for one like what I have seen of gordon.

I think a poor mans griffin is still a fair assessment at this point though.

How so? Lack of handle? Lets see Gordon play college ball.

Lack of handle and not nearly as mobile(side-to-side, i.e.)/agile.. just completely different players, imo.

Hill was finesse and Gordon will be power.
Hill was a true wing and Gordon will be PF considered a 3/4 tweener.

I like Gordon, a lot, I just don't see Hill as a good comp.

Pretty fair. Blake is far more powerful, but Gordon is much better in the open floor and has far more perimeter potential.
I think it's better to say a cross between Griffin and ... hmmm, drawing a blank. lol

Fair enough. Otherwise they have similar length and ability to attack the rim.

I know these are dunks, but there's power here, not just finesse....

I think you're one of the best posters here and respect your opinion greatly. I just have the opinion this particular comp is bad.
No need for either to convince the other because, like you said, these guys haven't even played a single collegiate game yet.

No you're right. Gordon doesn't have near Hill's speed and quickness in the open court.
 
Wiggins = Kobe/Michael
Parker = Pierce with more paint savvy
Randle = Chris Webber
Exum = Rich man's Batum??? (don't know)
Gordon = Just don't know (Griffin is the best I can come up with .. but I don't really like it)
Aaron Harrison = Deron Williams
James Young = Reggie Miller??

I hate all comps.. I really do.
