OKC Thunder. VICTOR OLADIPO. B-. Oladipo easily had the hardest game to properly rate. Even after watching the game a second time it’s hard to pinpoint what went wrong while Victor was on the court. He had his first good shooting night of the season, hitting 8-13 from the field and making 4 of his 6 threes. On defense he played well against Klay Thompson; Thompson’s threes came in transition or when Oladipo was off the floor completely. Even with a seemingly solid performance on both ends of the floor, the Thunder were outscored by 25 with Oladipo on the court. He did not have a single assist; that’s the problem. This team can’t play isolation basketball with it’s lack of shooting. They need to integrate themselves into a constant motion offense. That starts with Russ and Oladipo.. Shooting Guard
