Crazy how he went from under the radar prospect to overhyped so quickly (he deserves the hype though).

He is going to be a top 10 pick quite easily. I wouldn't be surprised if he goes top 5. To me Zeller and Shabazz will fall.

[Trill Clinton]

my favorite player in this draft class. whoever drafts him will be getting a GREAT player.

My wood gets huge with the thought of him and Leonard manning the 2 and 3 next season, but as others said he's probably a top 5 pick.

[The Btown Spur]

I watched him play his freshman year at IU, which was my senior year. He was a super raw prospect that couldnt shoot. He could dunk, and was athletic, but nothing near the player he is today.

It's been unbelievable following him from an average player on a below-average team to a star player on on a 1-seed. I was hoping at the beginning of the season that his stock would stay late 1st round, so somehow the spurs could get him, but unfortunately for the Spurs he will go top 10. He has a tremendous work ethic, and by all accounts is a great teammate. All i can hope for is that he doesnt go to the Mavs, Lakers, or OKC (I believe they have Toronto's pick this year).

The upside is that as kids like him come out and get shoehorned into a lottery pick (maybe), who we really want suddenly becomes a possibility as they drop down to us.

He looks Westbrook to me.

He looks Westbrook to me.

Minus the whole "pretending to be a PG" thing.

Minus the whole "pretending to be a PG" thing.

And maybe minus the fashion-style as well.

The Portland Trail Blazers “really like” Victor Oladipo and are considering moving up in the draft to get him, according to a source close to the prospect.

Oladipo expressed interest in playing for the Blazers. “I would really love to go to Portland, and I'm not just saying that,” Oladipo said. “I hope, and I don't think I'm dropping that far, but if they decided to move up somehow, I think that would be a great situation for me. It's a place where you can just concentrate on basketball.”

Oladipo is projected to go in the top five of the upcoming draft.

More like Dwyane Wade IMO.

[SenorSpur]

What a terror this kid is. I wouldn't be surprised that, in a few years, this kid is considered the best prospect from this draft.

[DPG21920]

More like Dwyane Wade IMO.

Is he really anywhere close to that offensively?

[DesignatedT]

Is he really anywhere close to that offensively?

I think he's just as good offensively as Wade was at this point in his career. Wade scored a lot more in college but that's just because he was asked to. Oladipo already has better range. He is also very similar to Wade defensively.

IMO he's the best prospect in the draft with the least amount of question marks.

I like Oladipo for the Bobcats. He and MKG could turn that franchise around with thier work ethic and motor
