This.
I think it will go:
1. Cavs - Embiid
2. Bucks - Wiggens (plays the 2 next to the Greek Freak)
3. 76ers - Parker
4. Magic - Exum (plays PG next to Oladipo)
5. Jazz - Vonleh (plays the 4 next to Favors, Kanter is moved)
6. Wolves - Gordon (picked over Randle due to better D and better range on his shot)
7. Lakers - Smart
8. Kings - Randle

He started out the season determined to turn himself into a small forward, but it is apparent that his future is as a 4. His main weakness is very concerning. To be blunt, his jump shot is broken (similar to MKG) and while it can look solid in 1-on-0 situations, the mechanics break down when he is forced to shoot it within the speed of a game situation. While some envision a future star at the next level, look for Gordon to ultimately become an excellent defensive oriented, energy role player as a small 4.

Gordon is a tweener.
He has a SF body but because he is a terrible shooter he has to play PF.
I don't understand why you like him. 42% FT i repeat 42% FT

The problem I have with Randle is that he's another below the rim player. He's not a rim protector and he's a questionable fit with Pekovic. He also has not outside shot.
That said, he could be an excellent fit next to Dieng going forward and I think he has the highest ceiling of those three.

You want to trade Love and get in return as main piece a guy who can't even make a FT? Good job.

They are two different kind of tweeners though. Williams couldn't defend either position as a tweener, because he wasn't long/strong enough to guard PFs and wasn't quick enough to guard SFs. He tried to adjust to a new position every year, which hampered his shooting development and meant that he had no go to moves.
Gordon can defend at least 2, maybe 3 positions and actually has a skill that can separate him in the NBA. He's athletic enough to make a real impact on offense. I don't know about you, but if we could, I'd draft Blake Griffin or Andre Drummond if they were just coming along in this draft, and they were both (are in Drummond's case) really bad FT shooters.
http://search.draftexpress.com/profile/ ... iams-5811/Defensively, Williams puts in a better effort than you typically see from a collegiate go-to guy. He does a good job of staying in front of opponents and shows strong fundamentals, as you would expect from a Sean Miller-coached player. He's usually in an attentive stance both on and off the ball and does his best to bother his matchup, even if he lacks the physical tools to be overly productive in terms of getting his team extra possessions. The aggressiveness he brings on this end will lead to some foul trouble on occasion, though, which is something that has limited his minutes at times this season.
