FA pick up: Chanlder or Gordon?

Next season: Wilson Cahndler or Eric Gordon? This is a 9 cat 10 team standard keepers league where we get to keep all players.

Two very different type of players,for next season I like Chandler's upside a little bit more.The reason being Gordon's game is very similar to Ben Gordon's which is not fantasy friendly at all.Add that he has to go through an adjustment period to be an undersized 2- guard in the pros and the fact that the team has a rock solid pg in Baron(limiting his upside in assists) plus two monster rebounders (Kaman and Camby),three very good scorers (Baron,Thornton,Kaman) and and two players whose main forte is also scoring(Mobley and Tim Thomas) that doesnt leave a lot of room for Gordon as well.IMO his first year stats will resemble Cuttino Mobley 2006/2007,decent but not stellar by any means.

Chandler has more upside especially in contributing rare categories from small forward position.11 ppg 6 rpg with solid percentages plus an average close to 2 in terms of blocks+steals is well within reach.Thus I'd go with Chandler.

Chandler at the moment. He's really impressing me and looking like the future SF for the Knicks.

Both of em are going to have slow starts... Im not sure EG will get more than 20mpg right away, and Chandler has a high cieling but the Knicks have a ton of SFs. I wouldnt draft them, they're going to be waiver wire wonders IMO.

I have a feeling that Gordon is going to be a chucker in the Al Thornton mode (at least for his rookie year), I just don't see Gordon contributing much aside from scoring (at a 40% or so clip).
