Yeah I'll throw him in with McCollum as 2 guards behind McLemore.

I disagree. I see them both as scoring PGs.

Agree to disagree. 6'3 to 6'4, better suited to play the 2, especially in Adelman's system where the 2 needs to be able to handle the ball.

Oladipo with yet another strong showing yesterday. He makes a lot of winning basketball plays, and could give us an advantage on the fastbreak, but also our half-court defence. I think he is going to fall into the 5-10 category where our pick likely will be. Can't wait to get past the trade deadline and see if we still have our pick.

I can't help but wonder how tall he really is. When I watch him, I don't see 6'4/6'5.

There's always the offseason to trade the pick. See: Budinger, Chase.

I'll just throw it out there for fellow wolves fans. Not a NBA shooter yet and would have some Williams moments when driving against brick wall for offensive foul or a missed shot, but I see him adapting and developing a lot better than Derrick. Great IQ, guy is an athlete, ability to get to the rim, the way he fills the lanes, would be great defender in his first day, great off the ball(you have to work on that, my Shved) and the fact that he doesn't disappear when the game is on the line, makes me think that he would be great fit.

If we draft a Center, I may have to become a fan of a different team.

If we're not in position to draft a good SG, then this is the next best option (or trading the pick).

Get Oladipo. We're not getting the 8th pick, probably more like the 11th or 12th, get Oladipo at that pick, **** getting a Center who wont start or immediately contribute.

I'm thinking the 7-10 range. Oladipo might rise to top-5 in all honesty.

Oladipo would be the perfect complimentary player to our core guys right now. I'm a bit worried he might skyrocket out of our range if he starts shooting and making more threes.

Archie Goodwin has fell quite a bit, a player with great potential. The sky is the limit for Archie, but can he pull his head out of his ass in time to see the potential?
