What If... the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Victor Oladipo instead of Anthony Bennett as the first overall selection of the 2013 NBA draft?

          Point guards are an essential part of the league. Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe, who plays for the Phoenix Suns, are very effective when they are on the floor together. Fast, relentless, and can attack the paint. Many teams are running the two points guards back court such as the Miami Heat with Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers, Oklahoma City Thunder with Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson. It's worth pointing out how well Victor Oladipo was going to play out of Indiana University. That goes for every college player in general. But how exciting would it be to see Victor Oladipo and Kyrie Irving on the floor at the same time? Every game could have involved a spectacular play with "ooo's and ahh'"s. Too bad we can't turn back the clock. Instead, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Anthony Bennett as the first overall pick. Bennett saw limited minutes and was eventually traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves, part of the Kevin Love trade. Since the trade to the Timberwolves, he has played inconsistent minutes and comes off the bench. Would Victor Oladipo and Kyrie Irving be a bad/good/great backcourt for the Cleveland Cavaliers?
