I don't know what the team's plans are with that. If they're sticking with Gordon and Victor is only a SG, that pick doesn't make sense.


So you want to pick a position? If they think Victor is the best player when our name is called, I think he's going to get picked, regardless of his position.


Also, speaking towards matching up with LBJ, Melo, Durant, and Gay. Are Shabazz and Porter really going to fair that much better. The only possible matchup in there where maybe the defender isn't torched is Porter on Gay.

Well no one matches up with those guys, technically. That's why they are the best.

Shabazz and Porter are just bigger bodies though. Most SFs are 6'6" at the low end and 6'8"/6'9" on the big end. Guys like Melo and LBJ would abuse Oladipo in the post. Durant would shoot over him with relative ease.

Now if we are talking Oladipo at SG, then that's a different story.

Some people worry too much about what position we need. Some people stress bpa regardless of circumstances. I think both issues are somewhat important. You don't want to take a shitty player just because you have a position need, but we don't want to have our three best players at one position (sg or pf).

...then there are no minutes for a top 5 pick.
