    I've said in another thread, Oladipo is a Player, like Zagger said - he'll be multiple- times All Star, but comparing him to Jordan is crazy, the only reason you can compare them is that Jordan was not nearly as impressive in college as he was in the NBA. If he's the next Jordan it's not best-case scenario, it's unbelievable-case scenario. I'd put him between Iguodala and Wade (also a bit of an exeggeration IMO).

    The point being: both of them are "high motor", non-stop attack players with (in college) rather crude guard skills but great athleticism. Plus they're pretty similar sized (Westbrook measured 6'2.25", Oladipo 6'3.25".)

    Except Jordan averaged 20 ppg his sophomore season. I think that quote was used with Bobby Knight:
