Orlando really fukked up

[CouldntBeMeTho]

I see him developing into a Blake Griffin type player with better D. He's still growing as far as the tweener concerns go. Once he puts some muscle on he's going to be a problem, dude can jump out of the gym.

He passes, rebounds, and moves well enough to be a 3. That's where I see them playing him.

His lack of offense coupled with the fact they have almost no shooting on their team means he's most likely going to play at the 4 next year. The only time you draft a defensive specialist top 5 should be if they're 6'10"+ and can shut down the paint.

He doesn't project out to being one of the top 5 players at the 3 or 4, they passed on guys who do have the potential to be among the top 5 at their position in the future.

I bet the thought process was to grab a PF with the #4 pick the whole time. A decent PF wouldn't be available at #12 since we all knew Gordon/Randle/Vonleh would be gone by then. Hennigan probably thought Payton would be an equal or better talent than Exum/Smart, so he waited on the PG

I think Gordon is gonna be nice, dude has the makings to be a very dynamic stretch four on offense and dude can defend 4 positions on D. I think he'll be a really good player in three years.

 

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

The one positve is theyll be shytty again and have a high pick next year to get a Towns type player just somebody who can shoot and put the fukkin ball in the basket

Yo clearly didn't see him play. His first step is very underrated. One of the main reasons he shot low from the FT line is because of a foot injury. Even with that he was one of the best atheletes in the draft. Already reading reports of him wanting to expand his game to the post and work on his 3 point shoot (shot 38% in college).

Don't forget that he was the best player on USA's FIBA U19 Championship team. Roster also featured Smart, Payton and Jalil Okafor.

13/6/2/2/1 in only 19 minutes a game.

What in the fukk, seriously? How you waste a perfectly good 4th pick on fukking Aaron Gordon?. Exum, Randle, Smart, and Vonleh are all>>> Gordon. And Elfrid Payton is fukking . Orlando and are no longer worthy to tank.

Cause Randle was a safe and smart pick?

Much more than Gordon.

May Allah guide Gordon to Islam.

This guy said elfrid Payton was trash.

He's looking like a taller/athletic rondo with a jumpshot in a few years.
