We’ve already looked at Elfrid Payton, and you can check in on how he will impact the team this season here. Next up is the supposed face of the franchise, Victor Oladipo.

His first two seasons brought many positives, including his athleticism and defensive abilities, but it didn’t always translate into stats you could get behind. So what’s in store this season?
