Thanks for your comment. While, we do agree that Eric Gordon is a very talented player we feel that Mayo and Bayless have higher ceilings and will therefore be taken over Gordon. Our guess would be Gordon will still be taken in the lottery but behind both Mayo and Bayless. Thanks again for reading.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for becoming a fan and for your comments. I've been rooting for the Pistons over the Celtics. Chauncey has always been one of my Fav 5.

Keep on writing.

Best,
Paul
