Victor Oladipo continues to be recognized for his breakout season with the Pacers, this time on the defensive side of the ball, with his selection to the NBA All-Defensive First Team.
Oladipo lead the NBA in steals with 2.36 thefts per game, using his quicks in a general free safety fashion to wreak havoc off the ball on the defense. That often turned into Victor and fam using their speed to go the other way to cash in transition opportunities. The Pacers were fifth in transition points per possession in the regular season and even better in their playoff battle against the Cavs.
