Last season, Victor Oladipo was named an NBA All-Star for the first time of his career. Nobody knew he would play at an All-Star level when the Indiana Pacers traded for him, but once he showed how talented he was, there was little doubt. We even suggested rioting if he didn’t make the big game.
This season, barring more missed games due to injury, it is looking more and more likely that Oladipo will be named an NBA All-Star again. His numbers are a bit down from last season, but the field is a bit weaker with some of last seasons All-Stars moving conferences or seeing their production fall off.
