Maybe the team thats trading for him has different expectations. And we wont trade him for alot i guess.
</div>
So either you find another team that doesn't follow the NBA, or you admittedly waste a top 10 draft pick...
</div>
I dont know man thats a risk we may have to take
</div>
No one's forcing a gun to THRON's head. Jordan won't be the only available player at 10...
</div>
I know that but if we decide on drafting him. Then we should know that hes a gamble. It could be great, but it also could suck baddd
</div>
No shit haha, but why take such a huge gamble when there are other quality players available. Although really to say that its a gamble isn't exactly accurate. You can look at a prospect and see where they're at, skill wise. I get the superficial reasons that would cause someone to take a first glance at Jordan, but once you take a look at the player he is I don't see how you can think its a good idea to draft him that high.
"But he could become really great, he could become like _______" Ask yourself how you came to that conclusion. What makes you think he could become some great basketball player? Because he's tall? please. Because he can dunk? ugh.
</div>
He has the same tools as D Howard did when he came into the league. Except work ethic and dedication. Im not saying we should draft him. But we shouldn't dismiss the idea either.
</div>
Same tools. Everyone loves talking about same tools. Manute Bol had great tools. James White had great tools. So what if he's tall and can dunk, that doesn't mean he's a good basketball player.
</div>
I never said he was. I said he has the tools like the players you mentioned to be a good player. Maybe even great. Its up to him and whoever is his coach to get him to that level.
</div>
Uhm, no he doesn't. He has absolutely no timing on D, he blows defensive assignments, and if you watch him, even in the highlights, he's plain slow. It takes him years to get into the air. Howard gets up in half a second.
