Nothing crazy, but just thought I'd share an article I wrote for the site and give Oladipo (as well as the Pacers) a little love.

Good article. There is also a surprisingly good article on roster building on indystar.com.

Good read, but I think that Dipo still has plenty of room to improve: more reliable shot, decision making.

For sure he does, but he took a huge step this year. Definitely needs to continue to work on that though.

Exactly my point. We already know, how good he has become. My stated points - just about fine tuning his game (and it's not hard to do).

In the infamous last post-season's episode, when he drove to the hoop and got blocked by LBJ with the score tied, and we all remember what happened next. Another scenario: Dipo drives to the hoop, attracts 3 defenders and kicks out to Domas (he was not missing anything before that). Worst case - OT. Decisions, decisions, decisions....
