Trading Gordon and relying on McLemore as a starter will set this organization back another 2 years.

I wouldn't mind having him but you don't trade Gordon as a result. It's hard a frick for a first year SG to succeed right away, especially with the concerns McLemore has. A guy like Beal struggled despite having a "good year" by rookie standards.

it's a tough situation to be in.

you want to find the minutes for Mac if you draft him, but at what cost? Playing Gordon more at the 1? Going small and playing Greivis, Mac and Gordon at the same time?

That's what I was thinking as well. He may eventually be good enough to replace him but it's a big risk to just expect him to be anything like a 20 PPG scorer.
