Rookies are a huge part in winning now, since most solid role players could cost millions and a solid rookie can be nearly as good at a fraction of that cost.

I don't feel comfortable jeopardizing our future for Adelman, just for a couple first round exits.

I agree. Teams like okc, denver, and houston keep recycling their rookies, and trade them off for more assets that fit their team better. I think this is what our front office has failed to do....

Pretty safe to say to our floor is #9 and the ceiling remains #3.

Effin Badgers are always good it seems.

If we stay put and don't trade our pick. I would want us to take Oladipo. He seems like an Iman Shumpert clone before the ACL tear.

Oladipo would be nice. Hopefully we win the sweepstakes and can take McLemore. Tony Mitchell would be a nice pick with the Memphis pick.

Rubio/Ridnour/Barea
Oladipo/Budinger/Shved
Kirilenko/Mitchell
Love/Williams/Cunningham
Pekovic/Stiemsma/Johnson

I wouldn't mind trading our pick and moving back to pick up Atlanta's pick and nab Gary Harris and Willie Cauley-Stein.

Oladipo might be the best option without trading down.. he gives us heart/athlete/defense/.

Only worry is his jumpshot. but he is a decent spot up shooter, he would get alot of oppurtunitys.

Think he's going to be a lot better then Shump....or I'd hope so out of a possible top 5 pick.

I love Marshall Henderson for a 2nd round pick. I have always liked the kid and hopefully he knocks the badgers out of the Tourney!

Really dislike him. And I don't think he has a place in the NBA.

Oladipo it is.

NikolaPekovic · Post #493 » by **NikolaPekovic** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 8:51 pm

If Oladipo/Noel/Shabazz/Mcelmore Are off the table then I would wanna take Gary Harris with our pick. Then maybe Glen Robinson iii with the memphis pick. Add some size and athleticism on the wings.

Which is kind of a big worry considering that jump shooting is easily the team's biggest need.

He has actually been shooting at a good % from 3 this year. But its a small sample size.

He cant shoot off the dribble very well, but he would get a lot of spot up opportunities on this team.

The worry about his shooting is somewhat dispelled by his work ethic as well, its safe to assume its something he will continue to work on.

MinneOOPalis · Post #496 » by **MinneOOPalis** » Mon Mar 18, 2013 11:24 pm

Oladipo and Glen Robinson III would be too good to be true.

Agreed. I'd rather have guys with flaws who work on their game (Love/Rubio) over uber-talented guys with no desire to get better (Beasley/Randolph/Milicic)

.

His 3 pt % also get dramatically worse the more shots a game he takes which makes it seem like he can hit them if he is completely wide open but not if anyone is near him, has anyone watched him enough to know if this is true?

I think I finally figured out a comparison for Victor Oladipo...

Avery Bradley
