Still seems like the frontrunner. I'd still put him there myself although vonleh's stock is rising for me. Smart is falling somewhat.
1. Gordon 2. Vonleh 3. Smart
I think I like Vonleh's talent better than Gordon in ways. He may go earlier though. I like Gordon's defense and ability to be a scorer someday at the small forward spot who can also slide to the 4 ala Paul Pierce. But I think Gordon has the ability to be a really good player. It's a tough call. Smart is still right up there.

Gordon to me is the closest thing to Paul Pierce this draft. More athletic. Better defensively. Not as much a shooter but I think he is going to be a guy who can score in a variety of ways and pass the ball. This is vonleh's biggest drawback is he isn't that much of a team player like that or passer. He makes some really bad decisions.
If Gordon becomes a scorer which I think he can and is he could be one of the best players and underrated this draft. I like where we are picking in that regard. Wiggins is overhyped in ways. We are picking where they are some underrated studs potentially.

Just some weaknesses with some of these guys games where they aren't fully developed and hard to tell. Vonleh is 18 years old. Gordon also has a big hole in his game right now. Not like Wiggins or Parker are fully developed but they are closer to that. So is Marcus smart imo. Vonleh and Gordon have some glaring holes. Makes them somewhat more appealing because physically I think they are more talented in ways.

Gordon's frame is much more physical to me. He has the ability to be an outstanding rebounder because of his size, tenacity and athletic ability. H e needs to be more technically sound that way at times. Anderson is lanky. He has length though. Both are versatile. Anderson is fairly polished as a scorer though. As Gordon becomes more polished he is going to be a beast. Still is going to have his struggles with being a fluid scorer though but he shows the ability to get in the lane and finish and is aggressive that way. Combine that with a technically sound shot he will be very good.

Gordon moves his feet so well on defense and mirrors the offensively player and is explosive on that end of the floor because of his ability to leap. As his body matures he is going to be more physical a defender.

I like Kyle Anderson as a versatile player but I take Gordon all day in that longterm.

Kyle Anderson should be a solid player and roleplayer to me. Potentially even a starter. Gordon can be a special roleplayer. I think he is a roleplayer with elite talent. AB is sort of that but Gordon is like the SF version of him with even more upside than that.
Gordon has roleplayer intangibles and close to elite talent.

Gordon is a guy who is mature enough where he can contribute right away too. He just has a huge hole in his game which is his shot. Especially ft's that's just terrible. Offensively he is very raw and may never reach his potential there either. He could just be that way but I tend to think he will improve.
Really like Aaron Gordon though.

Man I am gonna look like a goof if Anderson becomes a really good pro. I am just not sold on that dude. I don't think he'd make a top 25 list of my favorite prospects from this draft. Bu

I think Anderson can bust. He doesn't have elite anything. There is nothing special about him except he is just very versatile and well rounded. He is lanky though and is going to have issues in the nba I feel.
I think he's a good player. He doesn't seem that quick though. JJ was a pretty well rounded sg when we drafted him. WE had him at SF I think. He had a pretty quick first step though. I more see Anderson like a player I can't put my finger on. I think he played for the cavs.

versatile, not overly athletic, scoring sf who is going to struggle on defense and being pushed around at times. he isn't jeff green either. Jeff is athletic. He's more crafty and lanky then that. he isn't even in the class that boris diaw is.
He's more a scorer of sorts who somehow put up big rebounding numbers because of his technique in college.

He has a bizarre skill set and I always root for guys like that to succeed. But I'm hoping a team other than the C's takes that risk.

He is pretty fundamentally sound in various aspects of the game. He dominated at the college level and put up those numbers because of it.

Though Im not a Gordon fan there is no doubt he is the better prospect. Anderson has very good vision an a very high IQ. Can't argue with his rebounding numbers 8.8 a game. Anderson's defense is what could scare me in the NBA one thing that at least helps him a little is his length. I can see why some people don't like him he's "slow mo" I watched a lot of him he's definitely can fill the stat sheet and is a good leader on the floor. I don't think Anderson will just have an OK career he is either going to bust or be an All Star. Here is a good video it worth the few minutes if your on the fence with Anderson. I like that he improved his game from his freshman season to his sophomore season too ballislife.com/lebron-james-introduces-kyle-anderson-mcdonalds-all-american-lebron-hs-flashback/
