'13 Draft Thread (Let's talk late lotto again! Yaaay!!)

Man I'd love to land Burke. Don't think he makes it to us though.

We'd actually pick 18th if the draft were held today.

Can little dog play SG in the NBA?

Oladipo would be a fan favorite from day 1. Would be great to watch a fast pace line up of;

Jennings
Oladipo
Harris
Henson
Sanders

I know we say this every year, but this would be a great year to get another late first.

If Oladipo had connected on that oop I posted the other day, it would have been an instant legend. First thing I thought of when I saw it was "Grant Hill, eat your heart out." Really an amazing athletic feat even to get as close as he did. Here it is again from a different angle, because WOW:

Above guy may be the best defender in the NCAA, shoots over 50% from three and can do THAT. Why is he not a lotto pick again? Because he's 20? Come on. Workouts come around, this guy could very well go top 10.

Sadly, we have zero chance of landing Burke or Oladipo. Our best hope is 14 years from now, signing them as a washed-up FA.

Sports reporters are lazy. No one knew who Oladipo was at the beginning of the year and they have been pathetically slow in recognizing what a beast he has been. The things he is best at are also the things that translate well in transitioning to the NBA too. There were a couple possessions where he LOCKED Burke up.

As impressive as Oladipo has been, I have been that disappointed in Zeller. He had some great put backs but those were because he was playing against a Frosh who kept on helping on the drive leaving him open. As far as rebounding contested balls, he got devoured by McGary, a less than heralded Frosh.

At the end of the day I would be surprised if Oladipo wasn't taken before Zeller and VERY high. This dropping to the Bucks in the 20s thing is just not going to happen.

He won't go before Zeller but wouldn't be surprised at all to see him go lottery. He's a sure thing on defense in the NBA and his offense is improving.

The almost oop by Oladipo may have topped this had it gone down.

Zeller is this years Barnes, and Olidapo could make a Waiters/Westbrook jump but more likely a TRoss type jump.

To me, it looks like GRIII is trying to pull his arm free from #2 (Watford?) & accidentally nails him.

Definitely looks accidental to me.

That's exactly what it looks like.

My dad went to IU so I've seen a ton of their games even in the years that they were horrendous. It's absurd how much Oladipo has improved since he's been there.

AussieBuck · Post #256 » by **AussieBuck** » Tue Feb 5, 2013 5:45 am

That's amazing the gif makes it look like a perfect little hook with some nice hip movement giving it great short punch power but the video shows it was just him freeing his arm. :lol:

Oladipo is DX's prospect of the week. Giggidy.

Included is a 14 minute strengths and weaknesses video where the strengths go for 10 and a half minutes.

Where are you ranking him right now?

emunney · Post #260 » by **emunney** » Wed Feb 6, 2013 2:13 am

He's my favorite player in college ball right now. Haven't really started ranking guys yet, and there are some guys I haven't seen enough of (Shabazz included). But of the guys I feel comfortable with, he'd be in my first tier with Noel, Poythress, McLemore, Austin and Smart. Haven't seen Bennett, only saw Len and Shabazz once. Last year I saw plenty of Len and wasn't impressed.

If I'm going strictly by my gut, I'm saying top 5. But I'm not going to lie, it bothers me that nobody else is saying that.
