NBA ROLE: ATHLETIC, TWO-WAY GUARD

An über-athletic two-way guard in his prime, Victor Oladipo worked his way to become a premiere SG in the Association; relentless, tough to corral if given any sort of angle – devastating from a pure attacking standpoint; likes to rise into triples (couple sig moves: pull-ups & step backs)...equally skilled at bursts to the rim & finishing w/ up & unders, quick layups or dunks over the top; slashes well, much-improved stand still shooter; Oladipo has solid defensive principles – gets into a low stance, moves well laterally – but must learn to balance effort while providing the bulk of Indy's offense; former 2x All-Star, extremely tough to deal with when in top form; dealt to Rockets (2023): veteran X-Factor when healthy

*similar to (former teammate) R. Westbrook in the sense Vic can get to the rim off a dribble or two, needs the tiniest of openings to make a play
