@Lockedonsports: Asked Aaron Gordon how to develop offensive game in NBA "Lots of lab work, lots of lab work, gym time and watching lots of film, synergy."

Saw a tweet that Vonleh thinks he's a small forward... thats a problem for me. Gordon is at least smart enough to say he's a versatile forward... made sure not to say small or power forward. I like people with self awareness.

I love some people grasp at straws to find anything negative about Vonleh, because they want a guy with a million and one negatives.

I actually like his physical attributes and some of his skills. I'm having a hard time with his personality... that crap matters. We need smart players that know what they do well and do it. Self awareness is important in basketball and life... this is a sign he may not have that. He's either a PF or center... nothing about him says small forward.

His perimeter game. He was asked if he could play SF and he said he thought he could. That's probably the source of this whole exchange. It would be interesting to see the tweet in context.

I'd be okay if that was the context. He seems like a guy that could be pushed into making a kind of silly comment.

I wish Gordon had Vonleh's body and I wish Vonleh had Gordon's brain...
 
I think Vonleh will be fine, personally. He's still 18. Probably still coming into his own. He's a good kid and works hard. He'll figure it out.

I can't say this for sure, but he's probably saying this to possibly make someone fall in love, or maybe he does think this, after all he played on the wing in high school, and played out of position in the paint as a C, he also could be saying he can play out in space and hit outside shots, dribble, and pass.

Regardless of what he thinks, he will play what ever position his coach wants him to.

Again you like the others are grasping at straws. To say he's not self aware is simply not true.

Anyone watching the NBA TV Mock Draft? There's a chance Ford's mock doesn't have any correct picks. Ford is a moron.

Sources: If Bucks, Magic, Jazz or Celtics move up to No. 1 — Jabari is their man. If Sixers move up it’s for Wiggins

Please, no

Wait what changed? If the price to move up is the same I'm not sure it's worth it for a guy who can't defend.
