Gurdak has a much higher ceiling
His skills and feel for the game are better than Dorn's. What he doesnt have that Dorn does is the experience and knowledge that comes with experience of knowing how to put your opponents in tough positions. Dorn is a winner. He goes after rebounds way out of his area. He makes sure to set solid screens (the illegal screen was a bull**** makeup call). When he seals, he hold the seal and at an angle that makes passes easier for his teammates.
Dorn just doesnt have the touch and fine motor skills that Gurdak has. If Dorn had Gurdak's skills he'd be a second rounder. If Gurdak learns from Dorn on how to take advantage of your opponent then he could be a first rounder
Huge ifs...because its way more likely for players like Gurdak to never understand the game the way Dorn does...but if he does...hes gonna be special

Saw the growth last night too. However, I still feel Gurdak provides more.
