I don't know if I'd say he'd be a better second PG than McLemore, as hes spent less time with the ball in his hands and he projects (at least to me) to be a role playing floor spacer like Thabo while McLemore has real potential to be effective while dominating the ball on offense. Besides, with MKG having the ability to initiate the offense, we don't necessarily need another pseudo-PG at the two anyway.

Basically, McLemore just seems to have a higher ceiling. He has the potential to be a great defensive player himself, can shoot just as well, and has more scoring ability.


Now dont get me wrong, if we did Noel with our first pick and Oladipo with the Portland, I really wouldn't mind at all
OLADIPO IS GREATER THAN THE BEATLES! Seriously though, I really like this guy. I would rather have him than Henderson right now. His handles are better, he actually found range from 3 in college!, plays tenacious defense at all times (not just when his man has the ball), and I think he's more athletic. About the only thing Hendo has over him is a mid-range game and a longer neck.

Would I take him over McLemore? Probably not. Like Swedd said, it's all about the ceiling. But if we got any one of Shabazz, McLemore or Noel and picked up Oladipo with the Portland pick, I'd do a backflip. A smart team is going to get a great value pick drafting Vic 'Dipo and I prefer it be us.
