Hitting on Oladipo 

Perhaps this is something that we’ve heard time and time again, but the Indiana Pacers should be thankful that this team traded for Victor Oladipo last summer and then helped develop him into the NBA All-Star player that he is today.

And Oladipo is picking up where he left off last season, averaging 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists per game on 44 percent shooting from the field and 35 percent from 3-point range. He also has the Pacers playing great team basketball.

The team will likely be a top 5 team in the Eastern Conference when the regular season is all said and done.
