Draft Gordon at 6, McDermott at 17

[byennie]

Most feel he is a small forward, which you could use interchangeably with shooting guard, especially with Jeff Green.

Interchangeable and able to play in a specific lineup where another guy can guard his position aren't the same thing. That said, I think there's a small chance he can play SG with work, ala Gordon Hayward.

Can anyone sell me on Gordon? I understand he's a great defender, but I also understand he's quite limited offensively, which seems like the last thing this team needs.

Incredible defender. Watch 1:46.   He is so young, he will develop his offensive game. Utilizing his athleticism/explosiveness can score buckets many can't.  U19 MPV, led his team to the elite 8. This kid is a winner.

I would take Saric at 6 if we keep the pick. He has the most potential to be a superstar out the players left after Embiid, Wiggins, and Parker. 6'10 player with exceptional basketball IQ, a proven winner, great shooter, and overall tenacious.

I actually am afraid that Gordon won't be there at #6, leaving us to choose between vonleh, smart, and randle. That would suck.

TJ Warren might be around at 17.  I think he's going to be an absolute stud.  The steal of this draft.

Agree wholeheartedly

You're probably right, Cleveland may take him #1.

I have warren being drafted just before us. The bulls are in desperate need of scoring and need to get a pg also. Likely they get warren at 16 and maybe someone like payton or clarkson withe their 2nd first

17th should be PG or Big man if we go with Gordon or Smart or Exum. Napier & Innes should both be available. 17th pick could be big given depth of the draft and Danny's luck at this level in the draft.

Dante Exum might not be out of the question just yet. If the Magic still covet Marcus Smart, even if they don't,  the Celtics have plenty of assets to blow the Magic away and move up two spots. This is assuming Ainge loves Exum as much as is reported.

Apparently, they'd have considered him at 1. They landed in almost the perfect no brainer spot for them. He'll likely be there, almost surely and they'll take him. Wouldn't get by Utah on the off chance, either

Is it safe to say that Aaron Gordon is an athletic Draymond Green + upside? If so, GIMME SOME OF THAT!

Also, how come you can embed videos but not me? What am I doing wrong?
