Overlooked in the last week - Victor Oladipo

[HurricaneDij39]

Signed to a four year, $84 million extension with the Thunder on Monday. Maybe a steep price at $21 million a year for a guy that hasn't gained a consistent place in our league, but the talent certainly is there and when you compare this deal to that of Adams - It is a bargain.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

No, but he might be down the line.

Then again, in today's NBA climate, who'd you rather have at that salary...Olidipo, Evan Turner or Kent Bazemore?

I'd take the kid who can't shoot. But, plays hella defense.

The Thunder did what they had to do.

After the whole Durant debacle, they couldn't risk losing more talent.

 

[Scapegoat]

Yes. The lack of development could be because he was being asked to be a leader on a young team. In OKC he has Westbrook to be the leader. He just needs to develop and be a piece of the team.

 

[Inimical]

Silly signing IMO. OKC needs a guy to compliment Russel and this guy is not it.

 

[wildturkey]

They should have let him go to free agency. He's in the same boat as Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. I need to see more before I locking that down for years to come.

Shooting 41 percent from three heading into last night's game. That was his big weakness...

Everyone's Top 50 Players list is bound to look silly after a year, but my ranking of Oladipo at #46 is looking spot on.
