[ClutchFans] Podcast: On the NBA Draft, Wood trade and -- is Eric Gordon next?

I really feel Griffin is being unsold. 19 off injury season, he will get more mobility back and the dude is the best shooter bar none. I always repeat this... "it's a make or miss league" Draft the guy that can make the shot over the thousands of come and gone uber athletic guys that jump out of the gym. See latest example Westbrick.

 

Agreed on Griffin. He seems to be dropping a bit, but that level of shooting is hard to pass up. He would look like a very clear trade up target if he falls.

 

he’s actually still 18

 

I dont think Griffin is actually as good as the shooting data for one year suggests But I also think that he was not on display in a lot of other aspects of his game.

 

i think a lot of the positive stat projections on him also include what he did in high school. Apparently he was much more of a shot creator, but acquiesced to coach K’s system.

 

Morey has apparently offered the 23rd pick in this draft for EG, but the Rockets haven't made a move.

Are they adamant on retaining him?

What a draft got players at good value and at important positions and clearly put an emphasis on brining in defensive minded guys who can contribute on offense. And didn’t give up real assets to get these guys

 

Would not be shocked if Gordon is packed with KMJ and some of those 2nd rounds for a further out future first pick.

Now there's a glut of guards and wings (Green/KPj/Nix/Tyty/JC/Tate/KMJ/GM) along with forwards Smith/Garuba/Tari) and one center in Sengun. 12 guys and one of them who is a wing that wants more minutes. Better to move KMJ who outside shooting 3's and dunking isn't really standout at much else. I like him, I think he has a very bright future, but seems to me it's time to move him with his value high and teams highly interested in him.

 

And Ego stays.....I mean, we just can't flick him off our finger.

EG and Harden again
