check out this vid of Vonleh in HS. his ball-handling is pretty good, Indiana didn't utilize any of that part of his game
 
I think Vonleh is a real sleeper in this draft if he does well in workouts. By that, I mean he could get to #4 or #5. He was a bit off the radar and didn't get to show a ton for Indiana this year. His measurables, shooting touch and ability to play both ends will impress some teams.
You look at his size and he could be a perfect PF to go along with the other bigs. Honestly, the Jazz are going to get a great prospect anywhere in the top 7/8. It's just a matter of picking the player who has the most fire.
 
Bah. I'm not going to trust somebody's opinion when I don't hear the details of why they don't like a guy.

I'm sticking to what I've said about Randle the entire time. I think he can be a starter, but I don't think he'll ever be an impact player. Lackluster on defense, and I don't think a decent portion of his offense will translate. He's a better Tyler Hansbrough, impact wise, IMO.
Have to agree. I admit I didn't watch a ton of basketball, but what I did see of Randle was never eye-popping. There were great moments here and there. But after all the summer hype about Randle, Parker and Wiggins, I admit I was underwhelmed. He just didn't consistently dominate like i thought he would.
 
Does anyone see smart as a smaller version of IGGY but with hell a fire? Disruptive as ****. I know a lot of you are down him, but we need that fire on this team. Just sayin, if SHTF and we fall to 6 I'd love him as a consolation

Reminds me of Tyreke Evans tbh.
 
Agree with a lot of this.

I guess I view Gordon as someone who MIGHT be able to surpass expectations and reach perennial All-Star level ala Paul George. He's got truly elite athleticism to go along with great BBIQ and motor. It also sounds like he's got the work ethic to put it all together.

If we're unlucky enough to miss out on the top 4, then I'm taking a chance on Gordon.

ya this.

Nice find. He has a nice handle, didn't get to see much of it at IU as you've said. May be I need to take another look at this guy.
 
That is what i find wierd though.

Before we ever saw him he was considered top 3 or 4 then he has a pretty great year against good competition on an extremely young team with poor perimeter players and fight double and triple teams and get to the championship = he isnt very good now
I hear ya. But its called scouting.

“Noah will definitely be a high draft selection because of two things. First he has an incredible work ethic, always in the gym as a high schooler, constantly improving his skills, his ball-handling ability will amaze front office people,” said a local NBA scout.

“Second is his length. It will make him a perfect four-man in the NBA. He can defend a LaMarcus Aldridge or Dirk Nowitzki because of his size. On the offensive end, he is versatile. He is coachable and has high character. Some team will be lucky when they get him.”

Another thing Vonleh has going for him is the ability finish with both hands, including hook shots over either shoulder. Gordon and Randle dont show much with the off-hand at all
 
I see a lot of similarity to Vonleh after one year of college to Lamarcus Aldridge after one year of college. If they progress at the same level, that would be a very nice addition to the Jazz.
 
Priceless.

I'll be very happy with a top 4 pick regardless who we get with GSW.
I'll be disappointed with 5 or lower, regardless who we get with GSW.
 
I'd be very happy about that.

Would Love this draft as well, however something about Exum screams primadonna more than any other player in this draft. Could have been the rumors he was angling for a laker selection for himself. On the fence with him not so much because of talent, but because of chemistry.

I couldn't agree with you more. What impressed me the most about him during the Hoops Summit was his work rate.

He's a much needed addition to this team.

I can see that complaint but I think his drive to be a top level player will be more important to him.

At least I hope it does because I have nothing to base my comment on.
