At 6'7" 240 and his stuck between perimeter/post game....I have no idea what position this guy is, but he looks like a player nonetheless

Not sure if Oladipo isn't fast enough to guard some PGs, or if he is just overcommitting, but he's getting blown by out there. Looks like Jameer!

God, I hope Osby makes enough of an impression to trade BBD.

Does the way Oladipo dribble and use screens kind of remind anyone else of young Gilbert Arenas?

Pressey was one of the fastest PG's in all of college basketball. Oladipo is too big to guard these super small jitterbug types imo. He should be fine on most of them though.

Oladipo's been really up and down with the passes. That pass to O'Quinn was great though, O'quinn needs to finish strong, but everything else is great. Loving the fact that he's so much bigger than he was before.

Yes. The way he moves reminds me of young Gilbert in a way.

Yeah, I don't think it's a problem with every PG, just the little fast ones. He's just getting crossed over when he runs out there and can't recover before they've gone by him. Should be able to dial it in with film work.

I don't think that Victor's passing is bad at all. He's made some great passes to moving targets inside. He moves pretty quick, and has some high energy out there. That fact that he is running point makes me wonder what Orlando's plans are with him. They're obviously considering doing it during this year.

He's going to be playing the 3. He played the 4 in college and a lot of gms weren't sure about his ability to play the 3. But he's going to be really good.
