So he can't create his own shot, unless it's a pull-up wide open look. 3/4 of his attempts have come when he's set and waiting for the ball.
Also gets to the rack fairly easily. Does all the dirty/gritty work. Hustle rebounds on offense. I think you are undervaluing that kind of stuff in the NBA. Oladipo makes his presence felt.
People love smooth shooters. I tend to like the emotional guy who is willing to do the dirty work and play hard, tough defense. It's all preference at this point. After Noel, it's almost a toss up.

again..this is the same crap everyone said about MKG in last years draft..and he was absolutely awful as a starter and showed zero offensive growth.
Can you give me an example of the last great college SG/SF defending hustle player that had questionable offensive game that went in the top 5 and made a huge impact???
Heck, I'll expand that to the top 10.
You don't draft defense that early. The guys like Thabo Safolosha, Tony Allen, Bruce Bowen, Gerald Wallace come cheap in the draft and via free agency.
And I don't count Iguudala, he was heralded for his offensive game moreso than defense coming out of Arizona--ball handling and assists.
