Jesus... I didn't realize just how much of a zone Victor Oladipo has been in

[tremonthustler1]

nikka its obvious u dont watch him because he can pass and you knock his jumper but its better then cats like Igoudala Wallace and MKG who you love

I have. It's a complete outlier. I'm supposed to assume that going from 31% from outside to 21% from outside to 55% from outside is somehow gradual improvement? He's playing over his head. Also, it's not as if he takes a high volume of shots. Shooting 103-156 isn't just hard work paying off. It's shooting way above your means, so whether that's later on in the year or as he becomes a pro, those type of numbers will crash hard. I like Oladipo, but I'm also not gonna take what he's doing this season and use it as an indicator of what he can do later. Those type of numbers are unsustainable. Iggy and Wallace from college to now have maintained a level of consistency with their games. Oladipo's only consistent draw is his defense. That has carried over throughout his career (and he'll only get better once he plays D without fouling).

Oladipo's ok, but he's a guard with no handles. That limits him offensively.

HATE him as a lotto pick. 17-22, good place for him, steal afterward.

Watford, now I'm definitely a fan of his.

A face-up college 4 who will be a tweener in the NBA, can't really do much but shoot, that nikka won't be shyt in the league.

I didn't say he would. I just said I'm a fan of his. Personally I'm always skeptical when your three point % is better than your overall % and he won't get those looks as a pro unless he's in Spain which he'll likely be at anyway. As a college player, how he plays works. That won't translate, but he's shown his worth for the Hoosiers.

I'm a fan of the Indiana team in general.

Speaking of African college ballers, how do y'all feel about Gorqui Dieng in the pros?

He was swattin shyt in that Pitt game! and making some aiight passes too. He def got decent touch from the line for a big man, gotta improve his in game field goal touch tho. Not sure how he'll do in the league ...

I've been a fan since he was a sophomore at DeMatha - my alma mater.

To this day, it baffles me that the only "local" school that even tried to recruit him was Virginia Tech.

Gonna be a real good pro.

Oladipo is from the DMV? Thank God Gary Williams is gone. Terps lost again on DMV excellence

My son's are next. One is half West Indian, the other half geechie.

I thought you were Nigerian? What is "geechie" and where is it from?

As far as your sons, how old are they? Do you have them doing calisthenics? Are they doing any skill workouts?

Don't let them be like me. I had all the natural athleticism. 6'2", track star fast and could jump out the building but I was never enrolled in sports so when I started playing it took a while for my skill to catch up with my athleticism.

Buy your kids one of them Skill DVDs and ban video games in the summer time.
