How will coach Spo use Victor Oladipo?

With as much publicity as his potential return has gotten, it would be highly surprising if Oladipo was back and available and coach Spo didn’t utilize him. I also don’t think it’s by coincidence that he’ll be making a return against the lowly Houston Rockets.

This will give Spo the opportunity to get a decent look at Oladipo. If this game goes as the Heat hopes, they’ll be able to see how Oladipo reacts to live action and where he could possibly fit with the team. Before getting to the second part of that sentence, he has to make his debut first.

I think how Spo uses Oladipo in his debut will be very telling. Not only will we be able to tell how much trust Spo has in Oladipo but also what type of role he could possibly have early on with the team.
