re: Does Olapido just not do it for anyone else?

Which is why I said "I like one guy, you like the other".

The thing to me is in the NBA, if you are a great defender in college, it translates to the NBA. It means you will almost always be a really good defender in the NBA. But if you were susceptible before the NBA, almost always , you will be susceptible in the NBA.

If you have the physical tools and are an elite defender. You can work hard off the court on offense to get better.

Coming into the NBA and being offensively good before doesn't mean it'll translate right away. Takes time, especially for a shooter, of knowing when to shoot, when to try to take over, when not to try to take over etc.

We know that coming into the NBA, Oladipo will automatically be a damn good defender. And that he has shown the ability to have an offensive impact. Our perimeter defense needs serious help right away if we want to win more games.

Burke will come in and probably be decent on offense. But we don't know how efficient he can be in the NBA. And we do know he was a below average-poor defender and it will take quite some time for him to be a decent defender at the NBA level.
