Oladipo at #4?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I didn't want to start a new thread for this but people are saying that Oladipo is being considered for the number one overall pick... could be a smokescreen.

 

 

 

Sources tell ESPN that the Cavs are now considering Indiana SG/SF Victor Oladipo at No. 1 overall.

 

Thanks to his ACL tear and concerns surrounding his offensive abilities, Kentucky C Nerlens Noel's grip on the top spot is tenuous. The Cavs have been linked to Oladipo, Maryland C Alex Len and Kansas SG Ben McLemore in the last week. Oladipo would provide a much-needed defensive presence on the wing, complementing the high-scoring backcourt of Kyrie Irving and Dion Waiters. It wouldn't be a crazy pick.

Bump. If Oladipo is there at 4 which he might be we should draft him. Him and MKG would be great defensively and Vic is no bum on offense. He'd be a good SG for us

[Jakob]

If we draft Oladipo we are going to start winning games with scores like 56-50

[CarolinaNCSU]

If Oladipo becomes more competent on offense, he's the best player in the draft hands down.

double post

I don't like this. we need scoring. Oldapido is a great player, but we really don't need him. I think MKG has more potential

 

 

you make a decent point May 24th version of me, but now you are a month more intelligent and know that Oladipo's potential is great.

 

you also said Oldapido idiot

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Lol @ SOJA talking to himself.

He's got the highest upside of anyone in the draft and is really the only one in the draft as it looks right now that has elite superstar potential.

What???

Oladipo himself said he doesn't see himself as an all-star player, but instead a very good role player. So, tell me how he has elite superstar potential. I dont believe the D-Wade comparison a bit.

[carolina-chuck]

I would not mind Oladipo, but I would have to convince myself to like him.

He's the same player as MKG and Hendo. At this point, we need a BIG or a good shooter/scorer. Oladipo improved at Indiana, but is still raw offensively.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Oladipo would be a great guy on a team that doesn't need to be a go to scorer.

He would be a perfect fit for OKC (too bad that can't happen).

We really need a scoring threat, whether that be in the post with a guy like Len or on the wing with a guy like McLemore.

This draft: Olidontknow anymore..

Still for Len but if he is gone it Oli and Bennett for me.
