Currently leading the HoopsHabit Rookie Rankings, Victor Oladipo has been the most consistent rookie in the class. His numbers haven’t been flashy like another rookies’ have been but he’s as solid as they come.

Ranking second in scoring and steals third in assists to go along with seven double-doubles and a triple-double, Oladipo has been all over the map this season for the Orlando Magic. He’s been stellar all year despite going back and forth between starting guard to first man off the bench.

Not only has he been a pure contributor for the Magic, Oladipo has helped Orlando improve their win total by three full games with three more to play. It doesn’t sound like much but considering how poor the teams for other rookies have been this season that’s a big step. Oladipo is soon to be a star in the NBA and this is just the first step.
