Well considering the ambush I got last year I'm gonna go with Smart.
In all honestly, I really see one of Wiggins/Parker/Embiid/Exum falling and being available at 5. I'd go with whoever falls and if they are all gone the Smart is my guy.

Haha, well at 36 I'm old enough to have tried to impress girls with an extensive Beatles tape collection. Tape. Cassette.

Why do you feel the need to constantly name call and get personal when having a discussion?

damnit all can't people have an opinion. jeez take a chill pill (and I am old enough to have used this as a teenager)
one of the hardest thing to predict is how a player is going to develope
vonleh has all the tools even the ones that fell under the workbench but is he going to ever learn how to use them all. he seems like a good kid and one that likes to be in the gym. I just question his fire to grab the other team by the balls and then rip them off. if he gets a killer instinct he will be the best player in this class.
Gordon has a lot of tools but hasn't put them all together. that is the problem. one minutes this is great but at the same time something else is awful. if he can learn to rebound, block shots, score, shoot in the same game wow he can be special. in all honesty his free throws scare the pee out of me. free throw shooting is essential and taught at a young age. when I was on the practice squad in college we gained playing time by how well we shot free throws. needless to say I went from a 70% ft to about 85%. the only explanation I can come up with is he was coddled to much.
smart has a few tools but this desire and energy to use them all. if intensity was all it took then smart would be the best. the problem is his lack of proper training in a lot of the fundamentals. if he gets a good trainer that gets him to break his game done he has a chance to be the best pg in the nba. he is the one that will grab the other team then destroy them

Good analysis, gamer.
Maybe a little hyperbolic on Smart; I don't think he has the chance to be the best PG in the NBA. But he could certainly be top-10 IF he improves key aspects of his game. Vonleh's fire is the only thing that concerns me. And we have kind of a parallel with Marvin Williams. Not quite as talented, but a very good all-around game, just no attitude to go with it.
As much as I LOVE Vonleh and think he is BPA, I'm guessing the pick will be Gordon. The Jazz need defense. And they need passion. Hayward, Favors, Kanter, Burks...none of those guys play with fire. I think Gordon can pick the team up in that respect. And that lessens the gap between him and Vonleh, especially if you also take into account need.

That is great -- I always thought it was "goo goo gee choo"
