    I like the "shorter Luol Deng" comparison for Oladipo. Mainly because of that's exactly how he looks physically.

    He's VERY spindly. And he has the dreaded "soft" label already. But I also think he might be gone before our pick. Maybe if we could buy a lower pick Dieng would be available there. I dunno if the tournament run will boost his stock, though.

    It's funny you mention MKG later, because wasn't defense supposed to be his main strength too?

    And are you saying he's been a disappointment? I think it's more that that team needs SO much help that he's the wrong player for them. He would be an awesome glue player for a team that has a lot of scorers but just hasn't put it together yet. If Charlotte's unhappy with him...

    I'd trade our draft pick + LMA for MKG.

    Although most of those were late first or second round picks, it shows you how hard it is to get a good PG. Even a good back up PG.

    So many? One per team? Ask Chicago fans what happens when you lose the one. Ask the Lakers who had to trade for a 40 year old to even have a decent one. The great ones were mostly very high lottery picks.

    There were plenty to be had in 2009. Jrue/Collison/Maynor/Lawson were all drafted past the lottery. Nevertheless, PG probably has the biggest collection of young talent out of the other positions right now.

    SG and C are the hardest positions to find right now in the NBA.
