2014-15 Stats: 17.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists

Victor Oladipo is somehow managing to fly under the radar despite being a top-3 pick two years ago. Last season he only played 72 games, but he averaged 17.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.1 assists. Talk about stuffing the stat sheet.

Like Antetokounmpo, he got most of his field goal attempts at the rim (505 attempts were less than five feet from the rim, but he also made 34 percent of his shots between 20-24 feet away from the bucket. If he’s able to hit midrange jumpers near 40 percent and bump his 3-point shooting this season even a little bit, he’ll find himself higher on this list next summer.
