Why Did Orlando Select Aaron Gordon over Julius Randle?

[FreedS[ohh]lave]

Because Randle and Vucecic would have been an awful defensive combo at the 4 and 5

 

[The G.O.D II]

Gordon defense is overrated. Anyone picking randle over him is a fool

 

[BaldingSoHard]

Gordon defense is overrated.

Not true.

Anyone picking Randle over him is a fool

Also not true, but I think you wrote this backwards.

Not true.

Him and Payton are overrated defensively. They were 25th in the league in ppg allowed, which is way worse then the previous year with fat ass jameer and affalo

Gordon was injured most of the season and when he did played it was for less than 20 minutes



Dat athleticism

Too easy

Randle all day he plays his size and has a defined position, his offensive aggression and intangibles Are already advanced by years....

What an awful way of looking at it, AD wasn't impactful defensively his rookie year either and played way more than AG did.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Aaron Gordon will avg 12pts 12rbs & 2.5 blks a game this yr.

Book that shyt like a flight

 

[CarltonJunior]

Randle broke his leg in the first game of the season and the Lakers are interested in every PF and C that are free agents, also his name was thrown around in the Cousins trade talks

something tells me they aren't that high on him....for a reason

all of these things happened after the draft

Ok? nikkas talking like Gordon is some blow away choice over Randle. He had an 11 PER and had a defensive rating of 107(granted thats team based and could be based on Frye and vucci not protecting the paint). All the Vine clips doesn't mean shyt compared to numbers. He didn't havea good rookie season. And playing with two non shooters on the perimeter like Payton and dipo doesn't help

 

[Youngdev]

This dude worked on his game for real

AD defense is overrated also. He still struggles on the block against craftier, stronger guys.
