Victor Oladipo draft stock note

  • Hat tip to an old college friend who spotted this: Chad Ford is doing a live chat-type deal over at ESPN SportsNation today, and someone asked about Oladipo's draft stock. His response, presented sans comment:

    "Yes. He's moved into the Top 5 on our Big Board and for the first time, I've had a couple of GMs tell me that they like him more than Ben McLemore. They are in the minority right now ... but still. What a rise. In all my years of covering the draft, I've never seen a player improve as much as I've seen him improve in such a small period of time. He has weaknesses, but major, major upside. If he continues to improve, I don't think it's out of the question he could be the No. 1 pick in June. He's not there yet, but he's special."

    Yes it is and to think how lightly he was thought of by recruiting sites coming out of HS. Have to tip the cap to Crean on his ability to find kids like Oladipio, Sheehey, and Wade. Never thought he'd be getting mentioned as possible #1 pick..
