Hey man, nice choice of college .

Vic's been pretty good. He's not always consistent but has shown definite signs of a guy who can play a big role on the team, he was out with back spasms a few weeks back and frankly the team sucked without him. He's played great defensively and surprisingly shot the 3 well. Wish he was better at finishing at the rim (Magic fans warned us there) and he's not totally consistent yet but personally I'm a really big fan.

Like him a lot. I think he's best used as a third option, though.

He's just a guy. Which is okay, but we need about five more like him to succeed if he's our second best player.

Just checking up, I was and still am pissed we traded him, when IMO he was the best player we had, and he brought like a certain energy I cant describe. I just loved watching him play. I still remember that I believe double ot game against you guys when westbrook hit that ridiculous three. That was a tough loss.

I am beginning to think the team needs to make more of an effort to make him our number 2 guy. I would like to see more plays run specifically for him. Vic may not be a number 2 guy but he's a lot closer than Adams, imo. I want to make sure we are maximizing his potential

Oladipo is running into the same emotional distress that caused him to be a stressed player that fumbles every possession in Orlando. IMHO he is the kind of person that believes that people has to specifically make effort to reach him or honor him through means otherwise the feeling of neglect amounts to some unfounded ideas of self-worthlessness. He then tries to cover this by forcing things too much which makes things even worse.

I believe he would benefit very much from some sort of psychological counselling by a sports related pro otherwise his mental issues will always drag him down even though he has all the other tools to be a borderline all-star player.

Don't laugh at it, check the Dwight Howard's sweet tooth story if you want to see how simple problems may amount to serious issues when not treated.

What makes you say this? How do you know his emotional state?

Wish he shot more

Wish he did everything else that is useful more.
