In response to palestra38
I'm sure the NBA guys are going to look at potential, and Oni's physical gifts are a lot more impressive than Copeland's. But as far as dribbling past a good defender and hitting a shot, making PG-type passes, and controlling the pace of the game, Copeland is ahead of Oni right now. (Copeland was not a bad three-point shooter last season, plus that's a skill that can be developed by a natural shooter.)
There is a legitimate concern about whether he could defend NBA-level guards at all. And there are probably a lot of other players we haven't heard of who are about that good offensively who aren't playing in the NBA, possibly interchangeable with the Van Vleets and Cooks and such who have have made it as bench players.
