Oladipo Could Become Lottery Pick

Jan 2, 2013 4:31 PM

Victor Oladipo has had a breakout junior season at Indiana, averaging 13.6 points per game on 67.3 percent shooting from the floor.

Oladipo is shooting 45.5 percent from three-point range, up from 20.8 percent as a sophomore.

"One of my favorite players in the country," wrote Chad Ford. "He's gonna be a first round pick in this year's draft. If he can convince scouts that his 45% shooting from beyond the arc isn't a fluke -- lottery isn't out of the question."
