This might be a stupid question, but where do you think Oladipo would go in this draft? What about MCW? I Dont know alot about Marcus Smart but who is better MCW or him?

 I think MCW would benefit from Exum also being in this draft. A lot of people would be comparing those two because of their physical similarities. If Exum goes 3 to Philly,  I can see MCW going 4 to Orlando or  5 to Utah and maybe to the Lakers at 7. And to answer your question who is better, I’d say MCW because he is proven, but if I’m looking at this not knowing how well MCW did this season I would still probably pick MCW just because of his size and length. I like Marcus Smart too but I just feel like tall point guards that can create are so coveted in the league. But this is way easier to say now because we all saw how MCW did…

 MCW would go much later this year. If you  look into his stats they were very hollow. Thats why you hear the Sixers thinkign about trading him.

I think MCW goes ahead of Oladipo in this draft. Prior to workouts, I think most people would have them going in the 20s. But, despite my belief that both will eventually rise up draft boards, since there are much more quality SGs than PGs in this draft, I think MCW rises up a little higher. Given Oladipo’s size and shooting concerns, I believe he would be the 5th or 6th SG taken. And, given the leagues recent enamoration with tall PGs, I think MCW will get the same treatment Payton is getting in this draft, and he would be ranked as the 3rd or 4th best PG prospect. Therefore, I see MCW going 10-15, and I see Oladipo going 15-20.

Oladipo and MCW would be in that Smart and Exum category.

Remember MCW was that he is today a year ago, he was a tall talented PGSG Prospect who fell out of favor at Cuse and didnt show to be a consistant player. Going off of that guy your looking at him going between 8-12. He still would be a lotto pick in this draft, honestly would probably go around the same places.

Oladipo on the other hand would be in a similar class as smart but lets remember if smart was in last years draft The Magic take him over Oladipo. I think Victor goes somewhere in the Top 8 most likely in the 5-8 Range mixed in with Smart,Randle,& Vonleh but he would be ahead of Gordon imo.

Taking into account where those 2 went last year in an admittedly very weak draft according to NBA executives I think they’d be ranked like this according to NBA GM’s in this years draft (not knowing who they were as rookies in the NBA of course):

Point Guards

1 Exum

2 Smart

3. Payton

4 Lavine

5. MCW (a lot of people thought he would be a bust, he benefitted greatly by being in the worst team in the NBA allowing him to learn from his mistakes and be the focus of the fast offense, doing whatever he wanted)

 

Shooting Guards

1 Oladipo (remember, everybody was enamored with his athleticism and improvement in his sophmore season)

2 Harris

3 Stauskas

4 Young

5 Adams
