Aaron Gordon to Utah Jazz - Chad Ford

"If they stay at No. 5, their top two targets -- Exum and Vonleh -- are off the board. From what I can gather the next player on the list for the Jazz is Gordon."

So hes got the Jazz taking Gordon over Embiid.
 
Marcus 'Not So' Smart slipping HARD.... could have gone top #3 last year, instead he's now projected to go #8 - wasted a whole year & millions in the process.

If they draft Gordon, any hopes of trading up for Jabari or Wiggins is officially dead. Just letting everyone know.
 
So the question might become----do you take Gordon or Embiid ? Both have risk and reward.

I'm okay with Gordon if Exum and Vonleh are off the board. I'm hoping someone still takes Embiid and either Smart or Randle (the guy no one is talking about) gets into the mix.

For good reason...
 
Embiid. If Embiid has a 10% chance of being a top 5-10 player and being the best player on a championship team, that's 10% more of a chance than Gordon.

Embiid is also bait to trade up. I think the Cavs still want him but they could use someone to play right away and be a fallback. A defensive big with upside. Someone like Derrick Favors maybe.

You do that deal before you pick Embiid though, you don't pick him thinking he'll become the bait.



If there's no deal on the table, and you don't like his injury, then you've gotta take someone else.
