Official 5th Pick Poll (Who Ya Got)

Who Should the Jazz Select With the 5th Pick

  • Total voters
    131
  • Poll closed .
I don't. I'm not very thrilled with anyone that will likely be there. Get in the top three somehow, and then I also kind of don't care because I love Parker, Embiid, and Wiggins.
 
But, **** it, I'll say Julius Randle? Marcus Smart if the Jazz can get something nice for Burke (who I have not given up on).
 
I havent heard anything on Saric really, I'm looking to see what I can find on the guy, does anyone know how great he could be or if he would come to the NBA this year?
 
If the top four are out. I believe we need a small forward. Aaron Gordon has the potential to be a small forward so he is the pick. He will improve his shot. Smart's outburst makes him less desirable in my opinion and Burke and Smarte don't seem like a good combo to me. Randle and bully ball will not work in the MBA. Standing reach is not over seven feet. Vonleh is so new to the game and is still developing. Beside I think his only position is PF. I think Favor and Kanter are both power forwards so we don't need that as much. Thus out of the next top four Gordon seems to be the one.

I heard DX talk about him like that he would only come over if we was drafted high enough and if he was drafted by the right team.

I don't know enough about his defense to agree or disagree, but he did have 4 blocks in his last game. Not sure what that means, but thought I'd throw it out there.

Limited athleticism, not a great wingspan, not super strong. He's most likely going to play the 4, and I just don't see him playing great defense there. He'll be average at it if he works hard.

Kind of like Parker then. Saric has put up big numbers this year and he has done it against grown men. I wish the Jazz had another pick and could grab him around 10 or later.
 
Smart will be bad *** in this league, like others on here hoping Exum falls to us, highly doubtful though
 
are u serious? Aaron Gordon is absolute dookie.

The guy can't hit a free throw to save his life and if you notice most of the buckets are off throw up oops.

That's cool brah....try doing that in the NBA on a consistant basis....I don't want a OOP throw up one trick pony. He's not Blake Griffin and he never will be. No thank you.

If we keep pick (which we won't), DL would take Vonley as a stretch 4. Grab defensive help with a later pick or free agent. Not convinced Vonley isn't gone before 5.

Looks like you've been watching YouTube. He's got a shot, nice little 17 footer. Catch and shot or pull up. He has a lot of dunks because he outruns his man, and a lot of layup a because his crossover is deceptive.

Kind of annoying that all anyone puts in highlight videos are dunks. More so that fans view a few and then are suddenly experts on him.

I will trust scouts. That's why I am not commenting on the other players, I have not watched every game or followed them.

FYI... Gordon is not a guaranteed superstar but he's not the trash you make him out to be. USA Basketball MVP. He's a smart player, very athletic, creates his own shot, works hard on defense. He's bad at free throws though. Amazing work ethic though.
