1. Minutes played: 25

2. Field goals attempted: 11

3. Field goals made: 4

4. Percentage to which he looks like real Dipo: 60 percent

5. Starts game: yes

6. Finishes game (if it's close): yes

7. Immediate, noticeable improvement for the team: no


To the question 7 - No real effect for 1st two games back (emotional lift contra messing up rotations. Net effect zero). Then a clear (albeit not very large) negative impact until end of February. Minor positive impact with few impressive explosions for the rest of the season. Next year will tell the true story how successful his comeback will be.

7. Immediate, noticeable improvement for the team: Yes and No. Immediate improvement in the first quarter due to emotions and adrenaline of teammates. Then it levels off and there will be no noticeable improvement for the rest of the game.

This will be hotly debated!

Yea Nate said he's on a minute restriction. He'll probably not play back to backs as well

Great. Load management.

I thought that was only something porn actors did . . . . .

Anyone know if we will have a healthy squad for Oladipo's return?
Love to see our starting line-up together with Lamb in a bench role with McDermott, McConnell & the Holiday's.

Not at all unusual when coming back from a nasty injury. The controversy is about doing it for players who are otherwise able to play.

i'd say he was more like 70 pct than 90 pct...and i'm not sure about number 7 either--just based on the score, i don't think you can say immediate noticeable improvement overall...
