Aaron Gordon, a No. 5 Pick?

Here's a little Aaron Gordon info.

About his workout with the Jazz: https://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/sports/...h-nba.html.csp

I like the kids personality and poise. Sounds like he's a gym rat and will get better. https://www.nba.com/jazz/aaron-gordon-pre-draft-workout-6.7.14

I really like the Handles he shows in this video:

Question: Without saying "he might get better because I think he might", how is Aaron Gordon better than Jeremy Evans?

Answer: He might get better because I think he might.

Right on.
 
If it's a four player draft and I'm drafting fifth, I don't draft the tenth best player (at least in terms of what I'm looking for).


When did Gordon become the obvious fifth-best prospect in this draft? How is an athletic tweener that isn't good at basketball a key piece?

Gordon might be the best basketball player in the draft, he just happens to be one of the worst shooters.

He has a higher IQ and better passing ability than any other non-PG in the draft.

Best defender and is probably on par with Wiggins athletically pound for pound.

He's not a ballhandler, he can't shoot, and he can't create his own shot, but he's the best basketball player in this draft? Man, maybe this is the most overrated draft ever.

When you can't realize that Gordon is obviously much better than Jeremy Evans, it's kind of hard to begin a conversation. It's not like we are the only people on the planet who like Gordon, people are saying he is locked in as the 6th pick for the Celtics.

Oh my, not "PEOPLE".

He is a ball handler.

I understand those are only a few possessions, but he shows ability in the pick n roll as a ball handler. Has Jeremy Evans ever shown ability in the pick n roll at any level?
 
People who do this ish fro a living are overwhelming convinced he's better than Jeremy Evans so I wouldn't even bother trying to convince people otherwise
 
Aaron Gordon is a pure upside pick. Nobody has really made a compelling argument against that. I think that's a bad pick to make when there are other options even if I don't love them. We'll see what happens.

Agreed. Evans was a late 2nd rounder and Gordon is projected at the top in the best draft in a decade. Hard to get anywhere with someone when you are THAT far apart.

I never said I was answering the question, just giving you some updated information.
 
Did u see him handle the ball in those .gifs and in those workout videoes? due is Lebrone.
 
I'm aware that I'm being hyperbolic and obnoxious. But the idea of a possible glue guy that's a tweener being the grand prize after last season is nauseating.
 
UR right, now he is John Stockton/Scottie Pippens.

More exaggeration and hyperbole. Big surprise.

Who is the right player? Want to know so we can bookmark this thread. I want to know who the best available player at 5 is so we can see if you were right.
