Following potential 2014 draftees

Of the top 5 players in the 2014 draft (Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Gordon and An Harrison) Gordon has the highest bust potential.

No doubt. The othere are as safe as it gets. I like Aaron Gordon but I don't think there's much denying what you said is true.
 
A quote from Calipari regarding the Harrison twins and early plans for this coming season.

"You look at him and say, hey he can do things that other point guards can't do at his size, his scoring ability (referring to Andrew). And both of them are terrific drivers, which kind of tells you that we're going to go back to a lot more dribble-drive. I've talked to a couple of my friends. We're talking about dribble-drive into pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll, into dribble-drive, because of the team."

Can Gordon plays the SF position full time? Can he shoot the 3's well enough? Can he defend quicker SF? I thought he was a PF, Blake Griffin type player?

I think he can defend quicker 3s. He is a tweener, but a strong bull of one.
We shall see how he develops at Arizona this year.

Get away from his shot for one second. Can you imagine this guy playing along side our Core 4?
Aaron looks like a scorer, and a good defender. Let the focus on the offense be on Hayward, Kanter, and Burke.

Gordon has some real question marks with his handle and shot to play SF, but he is a spectacular athlete, has major hustle, and has a great feel for the game/IQ.
That last part makes me feel like he may be able to pull it together at SF.... but it's a risk.

As I've said earlier, they're Westbrook/Harden 2.0 waiting to happen. Would be great if we can grab them.

Andrew better kill it this year, imo (freshman or not). With sharp shooter Aaron and another sharpshooter Young, along with Randle (that can shoot from 3 effectively, as well).. he'll have a huge target at the rim in Willie Cauley-Stein and THREE other guys that can hit from outside and get into the lane at will. He should flourish.

I think they're the real deal these guys... rare mix of size, athl, dribble, drive, shooting and killer mentality. I'm scared just thinking about giarding them.

Just remember one knock on them.. they are not super athletic. They are sufficiently athletic. That's the one thing keeping Aaron out of the top 10, imo.

Harden wasn't super athletic coming into the NBA neither though? But he's crafty...great handle, got that swag, and can shoot that three at will.

Around 37 and 3. Having said that we have a killer schedule very early and could drop a couple before getting into SEC play. I'll be happy with anything up to 5 losses with anything more being disappointing. So there you have it, you need to pray for 6+.

lol

Actually, If I was looking for total devastation, I'd root for an undefeated season and a loss in the NCAA tourney.
