Ummmmmmmm, I think this kid presents like a future super star.

I love the way he talks.

He reminds me of Westbrook when he was interviewed leading up to his draft. He has that same sort of impressiveness to him IMO.

I might be leaning towards Oladipo.

I'm sorry BigSlam. I wasn't sure if you were going to post the scouting videos from DraftExpress beforehand.

It would be a travesty if we didn't select this kid if he's available. I haven't heard a draft interview that good since Jared Dudley. Oladipo has it all.

My first thought when we got #4: Victor Olidipo! Yes please.

Seriously!!

I hadn't heard Oladipo interviewed before I watched this tonight and I was super, super impressed.

I'm starting to get a little excited about him. Can't wait for workouts to see what he can do and to hear him talk some more.

LP: Do you remember the pre-draft Westbrook interviews, especially the Bobcats one (I looked for it but couldn't find it). Oladipo reminds me of his interviews so much. The both of them just ooze talent and a comfort in their own skins.

We need this guy on our team now.... OLADIPO OR BUST

If he and Kemba are gym rats together then it will elevate both of their games to new heights unseen at our organization

what is his wingspan? seems undersized. im not sure if this guy will ever be a 1st or 2nd option on a great team. seems more like a great glue guy, similar to MKG.

I think we need to get a sharpshooting scorer at the 2.

Pretty neutral honestly. I see him as a rich man's Shumpert. A nice guy to have but I can't really see him being really good.

Yes sir. They both interviewed with supreme confidence, but not arrogance. Its very rare for a college player to interview that well, and that's why GMs are in love with him.

i think it's very possible that oladipo is the best player available when the bobcats pick. if that is the case i hope they snatch him up and don't look back.

Pretty good, better than McLemore's. 6' 9.25" He's a little short for a SG at 6' 4.25" but that's about average nowadays. http://www.nba.com/2013/news/05/17/nba-draft-combine-results/index.html

Part of what makes Oladipo so promising is that he's from the storied DeMatha program.

Definitely a cool dude. Like I have been saying all along, I have watched this guy for the past three years and he has gotten soooo much better. It is hard to not like him and I would absolutely enjoy rooting for him as a Bobcat/Hornet.

countryboi · Post #17 » by **countryboi** » Thu May 23, 2013 1:36 pm

i am going to be seriously disappointed if we pass on this dude and he is going to be the best player in this draft.

Oladipo is best fit from a makeup standpoint but there is some overlap with his style of play and MKG and Kemba. If McLemore is gone and we have no solid trade offer on the table at 4 I'm OK drafting him provided we trade MKG at the 2014 draft and draft Wiggins or Parker for SF.

Eoghan · Post #19 » by **Eoghan** » Thu May 23, 2013 5:38 pm

Oladipo is at worst a nice upgrade to our 2 PG lineup of Kemba and Ramon/Pargo that a lot of teams are doing to close out games. We might actually be able to hold on to leads with Oladipo.

If we take Oladipo or McLemore I am fine with taking Wiggins or Parker and moving this years guy to the bench as a sixth man. I would prefer Oldaipo. Start Kemba, MKG and Wiggins/Parker and then Oladipo in for any of them at any point and just shuffle guys to fit foul trouble or injury.
