Gordon or Randle?

[Tr1boy]

Very good chance both will be there at 6. If we keep the pick, who would you choose?

Some rather have smart but he should be a goner before 6 . Saric might stay in europe and vonleh is too raw. I like vonleh but his mediocre iq will prob disinterest ainge/stevens

[manl_lui]

you're right, I rather have Smart

but if I have to choose between Randle and Gordon, it's a toughie

Gordon is more athletic and a better defensive player. Randle is just a tank down low, but I am afraid his physique will limit him as he is undersized and we already have Sully.

Therefore I choose Gordon if it comes down between the two

I wish we had a hole at the PF spot because I could get excited about Randle, Vonleh, or Gordon.

Have to say Randle though in a vacuum.

With their current roster, Utah either takes Smart or Gordon. I can't imagine the Cs taking Randle as the team is currently constructed and I also definitely like Gordon more. I understand that we need a go-to scorer, but I am not sure that exists at #6 - I would rather build up our team defensively and fill in the roster as needed.

[Fafnir]

Gordon, though I don't feel strongly either way.

I'm curious as to how good Randle's perimeter game is. Coming into college he supposedly had a great one for a PF, but they never used it in Kentucky.

Gordon. No brainer.  If he is not available, trade down a few spots and take Saric and pick up 2nd round pick and get Shabazz Napier if he slides.

Vonleh may work out as a 5, he measured pretty big at the combine, and may not be done growing.

Hole or no hole, though, you gotta go BPA here.

[SHAQATTACK]

Really not sure it matters at this point.

Neither are core players at this point

Celtics are in deep doo doo

I be happy to use the 6 th pic in a trade to dump Wallace and Bass

Gordon over Randle

[saltlover]

Vonleh.  I'd take him at 5.

[PhoSita]

I'd take Gordon or Vonleh ahead of Randle.  I'd even take Saric, Smart, or McDermott ahead of Randle.  I don't think Randle will be better than Sullinger, let alone the other guys available in that range.

Vonleh is big enough to play C in the NBA even if he doesn't keep growing.  But considering his age and the length of his arms , it wouldn't be at all surprising if he grew another inch or two.

[goCeltics]

gordon is a tweener, everyone keeps on talking aboout his great athleticism but his wingspan is actually shorter than randle, and randle must have 30 pounds on him. i have vonleh ahead of both and randle ahead of gordon, i'll hate to get gordon,.

Yeah, I think Vonleh would be the "home run" pick I could certainly get behind.

I think he has the highest ceiling, but the lowest floor also.

I think Vonleh could play the 5, but I feel his more natural position is the PF. Similar to Al Horford.
