Following potential 2014 draftees

If Favors and Kanter doesn't work, a lineup of Gobert and Favors would be catastrophically bad. Think Gobert is more suited as a backup giving some needed defense to the 2end unit.

True, but a line-up with Gobert and Kanter could be really, really good. Gobert is a rookie, still growing into his frame and learning how to play. Give him a year or two. The talent is there.
 
Lol at cherry picking his worst 4 games and only showing those.

Look at his last 8, he had 2 bad offensive performances. He has scored over 20 twice in the past 6 games, something he only did once before that.

Can we really trust anything that the guy who though Alec Burks could be a PG says?

So how is picking his last 8 less cherry picking?

Parker is a 4 in the league, imo. He's a massive defensive liability defending sf's in the NBA... like embarrassingly bad, I bet.
I think he's be strong enough to handle most PF's but could be very difficult for PF's to defend.

Situational sf, sure.. but a PF.

I'll give him time. He's 18 now. I wanna see him in his 3rd season before I decide if he's best at SF or PF. Right now I'd obviously play him as a stretch 4.

This could be a good thing..... hopefully gm's are concerned as well and he falls to the 7th spot to us.

I will take an embiid with back health question marks over gordon, vonleh, saric, etc

let's say your assumption is correct. he is indeed 6ft 9 with shoe on. guess what? that's paul george size. paul george was measured at 6ft 7 3/4. nobody ever says george has great handles for his size. hell jeff green too. 6ft 7 3/4. actually green probably has longer winspan. both george & green are listed at 6ft 9.

bottom line - you are supposed to have a handle like that when you are athletic 3 in nba especially when you are a top 10 pick. i have seen about 6 arizona games, but handles was not his strong asset. i think it's adequate. but i didn't think he was comfortable working off the dribble.

i originally thought he could play 4 because like you i assumed that he would be tall enough and have frame to add pounds. but right now, i think he is 3 and situational 4. tweener. so he better have great handle if you want to take that next level up or he would always be offensively challenged.

but i like the kid, love his defensive intensity, basketball iq, and intangibles. he would be a good fit for us. but only if we don't tank hard enough and get #7-#9th pick.

This is indeed something you can't overlook. Noah in Chicago is a good example. He is undersized at center with a 7'1" wingspan but knows where to be on defense 100% of the time and can guard 5 positions letting you switch on anything. Gordon could be in this mold as a PF.

This. Gordon can play the game. He'll be a menace defensively and on the glass, I can see him guarding positions 2-4. Outside of what I view as the clear cut top 6 (Wiggins, Embiid, Parker, Randle, Smart, Exum in some order) I think he stacks up as well as anyone. He would be a great pick from #7 on.
 
If we somehow got Wiggins in this draft, id prematurely mansap everywhere. Id then proceed to impregnate my girlfriend and name my (would be) son Andrew Wiggins (middle name) Daughter? Andrew Wiggins.

Im all on this dudes wagon, too bad we are (Jazz management) too idiotic to throw the season away)

Because there his last 8 games in a row. That isn't cherry picking, it's taking his latest stretch of games (all of them, not random picks in a stretch).
 
If we end up at 4th worst there is a 37.7% at top 3 and a 11.9% chance at #1

TANKKKKKKKKK. WIGGINS AND PARKER ARE NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.
