This, I didn't even remember Lu wearing it until people here pointed it out, it's always been Ron.
Harper preemptively borrowed it from Lu, though.

Least comparable players
Ball, Hayes, Haliburton, Poku
Ball being the most obvious choice. People didn’t know how to balance out his seemingly extreme strengths and weaknesses.
Ball wasn't available, so since the other guys you mention are "more unique" or nobody cared enough to come up with a comparison we should have drafted one of them
The question from you was who had no comparison and I gave that to you. Don’t get all mad that those types existed.
Drafting is about taking advantage of the inefficiencies. There is value in taking a guy that other teams have trouble “figuring out”. Brandon Clarke was the perfect example last year.
The opposite inefficiency exists for taking guys that are reminders of someone else, hoping to recreate that player. AK may not have taken that into account, but it’s a fair criticism if he did.
And Ball was available, they just didn’t want to pay the price to get him.

From the way they handle the ball, to moving off the ball, same aggressive mentality on defense where they attack the ball handler, even their mechanics when they run or jump.

A 6’8” Oladipo is a franchise player

A sign of someone way ahead of his time.

What if it's not the LeBron but the Oden thing?
Oh boy...

Nah, Oden looked almost creaky coming in. Williams looked fluid - just physically broader. Anthony Edwards is like that. So is Zion (so much so that it's too his detriment). Corliss Williamson (my personal "floor" for PWilliams) had it. Anthony Mason. Stanley Johnson (but so much lacking in the head/heart). James Johnson, too (just a head issue with him, not a heart issue).
Freight train / tank builds.

Lol. Only if the train is full of pudding.

Ok, but Oladipo had shown a ton of potential in college, so let's keep some perspective on likely outcomes.

Oladipo played three seasons in college. Freshman Dipo played 18 mpg getting 7.4 ppg and 3.7 rpg.
I never saw him play at Indiana, so maybe he showed hugely impressive potential already, but he played and produced less than Williams as a freshman, and for a really bad team to boot (12-20, 11th in Big Ten LOL). So Patrick is well ahead at this point.

Still can't wrap my mind around the data on him. He really didn't look great at FSU. If he ends up being the stud that he is being hyped to be, the FSU coach should be tarred and feathered.
