Gary Harris, a sharp shooter is my guy. But, I can't pass up on Aaron Gordon even though he's only 6'9".

Gordon is only 19 with a huge ceiling. He'll add another 15-25lbs to his frame. He was probably the best defender in the nation last year; can defender the perimeter as well. Plays with a high IQ. A smart, smart, very smart player. He's a double double guy.

I'm not worried about his offensive game one bit. It will come!!! His offense is not MKG/Biz bad. Gordon will get his points through lobs like Blake and being physical in the paint atm. Once he get his jump shots in, GAME OVER!!!! "Mark Price"

I chose to go with Gordon not knowing if we can land a legitimate PF like Monroe or Z-Bo in FA; probably won't happen. Plus, we could get a nice SG like Lavine, Hairston, or Robinson III at 24.

Harris - jack of all trades, master of none. not sure he is even an upgrade over Hendo. would pass. 

 

Gordon - tweener, raw offensive game, not a great defender, good rebounder but not great/elite. 

 

I am leaning towards Stauskas. Big 10 player of the year over Harris. Dude is just lights out shooter who can pass and beat you off the bounce.

Love Harris due to his shooting ability. He's a little smaller at 6'4, and not a great defender. I'm not sure how athletic he is so that's scaring me a bit.

I wouldn't mind Stauskas. Great size at. 6'6". Great shooter, passer, and at creating space.

I really hope that Cho/MJ will make a huge offer to take Gordon Hayward off the Jazz hands tho. Hayward would solve just about everything on offense.

Harris didnt do great at the combine. Staus actually had a higher vert if I remb correctly. Harris is a solid - good shooter but not lights out like Staus. 

 

We would have to give Hayward a near max deal which I would be down for. I am not sure if the FO feels the same way though lol

Randle will not fall that far.

Never know. Guys like Vonleh is rising. Probably the best BIG in this draft. Some even consider him being better than Embiid.

Aaron Gordon, Tyler Ennis, and even Doug McD could push Randle down to no9.

Randle is a tweeter, short arms, and a turnover machine. Hopefully some teams uses that against him so he can fall right into our laps.

Gordon was supposedly looking for a 4 yr 50 mil contract which the Jazz hesitated to give. I would give a max offer to Hayward right now! Al Jefferson should be happy.

Gordon Hayward could be the guy Cho and MJ target in FA. We need a SG badly and MJ was willing to trade for Harden. I don't believe we'll be that interested in Monroe.

I can not be in advocation of a PF that high with just selecting Zeller. It would have to be a no brainer sure fire stud of a PF. Randle has too many question marks for me to make that pick when you have guys like Staus sitting there for the taking. Plus we have Al so a guy like Randle would not compliment him as much as say Payne would at 24.

Cody is a stretch 4. Pure offensive scoring PF. Hopefully he get it together fast. Not a great defender (stand up with hands up) and average rebounder.

Gordon is smaller but a better overall PF. Can stretch the floor too.

I wouldn't mind Aaron Gordon at 9 but we need more scoring on the floor. I think Nik Stauskas could be a player we look at as well.

Definitely. Stauskas, Hood, Harris, etc. will all be look at.

I just hope we go hard after Gordon Hayward this offseason. He's a much better player than anyone we can get in the draft. The Celtics and Brad Stevens will make a hard push for Hayward, but we have Big Al.

      You Done with Morgan Yet?

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      I'm trying to be as pragmatic and as un reactionary as possible. And once again multiple things can be true  His draft last year was disastrously terrible. X looks like an absolute bust. Brooks hasn't played. Wallace looks like a miss. But demani needs more pt, cws is solid and Coker has shown promise This draft cannot be judged after 2 games esp with a dc who doesn't want to play them. But tmac looks legit. Princely has promise. The rest is a ?  Has he made mistakes? Undoubtedly.  Is the roster better than it was 2 years ago? I'd say yes. I'd say our biggest problems are still the ones we had 2 years ago - Bryce and evero.  And as I've said before, at least he hasn't traded any future picks. Yet.  So IMHO Morgan is a mixed bag but not a total bust. Yet.

      Is Hendon Hooker that bad he can't get a shot??

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I'd rather have a raffle to pick a random fan to start at QB than see Bryce trot out there again. That actually sounds wildly entertaining. I'd actually MUCH rather have that. LOL

      I think being out on Dan is shortsighted; here are the two immediate reasons that stick out to me. 1) Inherited a grossly undersized QB with no real tangible physical traits that offset his size that the prior offensive staff did not want, who appears to be an all-time bust. Bryce isn't ''elite'' in any physical category, athleticism, arm strength, nothing, even his ''superpower'' aka his processing, does not show up. Not to mention that he is in his 3rd year and is still built like an HS senior. 2) The roster was terrible, the fact that we have halfway established some depth on both sides of the ball is commendable considering we are at the top of his 2nd year at the helm; we have not seen bad contracts handed out, and we've seen relatively smart trades. Even the Thielen one, because he's 35 and we got 4th round value for a guy who was not part of the long-term plans, did we miss him these past two games...sure. However, we were not a playoff team with him anyway.
