oes 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.
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.

I remember reading reports that most of his points in college were from put backs and fast breaks. Oh and also that he had no outside shot...

All I'm getting at is the upside is there for Oladipo. His improvements are shown from year to year. I'm saying he has that potential to be an effective offensive player while making a huge impact defensively by being able to guard 3 positions in the NBA with the exception of a couple of 3s.

Oh and Dwayne Wade was a guy that they said couldn't shoot outside, needed to work on his jumper and needed improved ball handling but his defense was great and was athletic.
