10. Victor Oladipo (Orlando Magic)

Watching Victor Oladipo during Saturday night’s dunk contest, I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the young Orlando Magic guard. His dunks were impressive, especially his opener, but they simply couldn’t live up to what Zach LaVine was doing.

In a different iteration of the dunk contest, Oladipo might have been able to win.

That said, in the Rising Stars challenge, Oladipo outplayed LaVine, putting up impressive numbers of 22 points, four assists, three rebounds, and four steals. He is starting to show a lot of promise, especially after moving to the shooting guard position alongside Elfrid Payton. The Magic are still in a rebuilding phase, but have begun showing some semblance of a future blueprint with Oladipo right in the center of everything.
