3. Victor Oladipo

Like Tobias Harris, Victor Oladipo hasn’t had the coming-out party here in his third NBA season like most people were anticipating. After posting an 18-4-4 stat line last season, Dipo’s scoring has dropped to 15.2 points per game, though he’s also averaging 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists as well.

Oladipo’s shooting numbers are slightly down, he hasn’t improved his perimeter touch (33.3 percent on the season from three-point range) and he’s bounced back and forth between the starting lineup and a sixth man role in his first season under head coach Scott Skiles.

The Orlando Magic have fallen well short of expectations for this season, but Oladipo remains the closest thing this team has to a franchise star. Whether he ever ascends to the responsibility of stardom remains to be seen, but even if he doesn’t, Oladipo will be an extremely useful and versatile two-way player at the very least.
