    How good will this guy be at his prime? Chauncey Billups good or Devin Harris good? I'd say he'll turn out to be better and will achieve more than Steve Francis

    Somewhere between Matt Maloney and Michael Jordan.

    One of my favourite Non Rockets to watch.

    Him and Payton are a fun backcourt.

    Not just a PG, he can really be a scoring threat playing alongside Payton whose more of a pure PG.

    Extremely explosive in the Stevie mould.

    If he stays in the East, he has multi all star written all over him.

    If he gets a consistent shot he's going to be the 2nd best SG in the NBA.

    He already has the athletic ability and instincts to be a top slasher and defender. His jump-shot isn't as bad as I expected coming out of college. More consistency from outside would be nice but then again Wade got by without it. He has all the tools, just needs to put it altogether.

    He's going to have a break out season. 2 way star potential.

    I think he'll put up better numbers than Bradley Beal, but both are looking really good at the 2.

    well..his defence wasn't as good as expected. Now with Skiles it will be interesting to see how much it improves. At the end of last season he was scoring a lot so there's hope he can have a break out season next year.
    Some consistent better outside shot, some better defence and Orlando in the playoff race and he can possibly be an all star candidate next year.
    Btw he's only 4 months younger than Jones.

    He can play both but he also said in an interview that he wants to become a full time PG

    That made me LOL and I laughed even harder when MCW tried his best to return the favor on two occasions and failed both times.

    At the time, I said Oladipo was the best player in the 2013 draft.
