If they think he can play the 3, then he's a real possibility. I think they go big- rookie contract for a center is tough to pass up and it allows them to move Lopez for perimeter help.

He has shutdown potential as a defender. His rebounding rates are good. He's strong enough and has a nice solid frame to defend. Is he long enough? We'll find out during the measurements but If Tony Allen can defend NBA SFs, I think Oladipo has the potential to as well.
