Earlier this week, we started a series here examining each players currently with the Orlando Magic, and if you’d keep them or move them on given the opportunity. There were few rules, the main one being that financial restrictions did not apply.

Already we’ve examined point guard Elfird Payton, and you can view that here. Now it is the turn of Victor Oladipo, a player who will be entering his third season in the league next year.

He’s been billed as the face of the franchise, the second pick in the 2013 draft who was meant to spearhead the revival of the Magic franchise after Dwight Howard‘s infamous departure. While the rebuild is yet to truly get off the ground yet, it’s not for the want of trying on Oladipo’s part.

Since joining the team he has been everything you could ask from a second pick in the draft. Has he done enough and is his future bright enough to warrant keeping him around long term though?
