McDermott / Gordon

Most of the posts on McDermott are fairly ignorant. He has defensive issues, but they are not unlike Parker. Offensively though he has it all... he is the most polished player in the draft. I do think once Jabari figures out his weight and grows into his body he will become quicker but who he defends at the next level will always be a problem for Jabari, just as it will for Doug Mcdermott. But if you watch Mcdermott the dude can finish with both hands, he can shoot off every play: (off the bounce, pass, and dribble, and off screens), he is a coaches son and has higher BB IQ than even Hayward. He makes the right play all the time and is always in motion doing something positive for the team. He can pass, The dude is going to end up top 12 mark my words! He may not have the upside of some of the other top picks in the draft but I bet when it is all said and done half the players drafted ahead of him won't have the career that he has.

You're 100% right, but the counter argument is a guy of McDermott's caliber can be had in free agency. The Jazz have to draft an all star/superstar if they ever hope to get one.

Top 12 drafted?

Top 12 best players in the draft?

Top 12 player in the NBA?


The first two aren't impossible. Just don't see it. He is a force-fed scorer who relies on a lot of post-ups that just won't happen in the NBA.
 
Watch the draft express video that was based off of last years plays. Then consider he has added to his game this year a sick Dirk Nowitzki one-legged step back jumper. The dud has serious game and if he shoots this well with all of this attention in the big east... think of what he will do as a 6th man or a teams 3rd-4th option. I would love getting him. But do agree we need a star from this draft... my only concern is that if we don't end up in the top 3 we won't have the chance.
