7 years agoIndiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo scored 17 points and grabbed a few rebounds in a great team win over the Suns. Indiana continues to roll over sub-.500 teams and challenge contenders behind Oladipo’s on-court leadership. His ability to score has made him the top dog in the Pacers offense, and even though he and the rest of the starters only played around 20 to 25 minutes, the bench picked up the slack, leaving owners a little disappointed. Oladipo will continue to be a must-play in most situations, but nights like these will start to become more common the further we get into the season. Oladipo is still a smart player on what should be a playoff team, so expect the consistency to last. However, with the Pacers becoming a more balanced team, this will slightly take away from Oladipo’s overall production. He did have four steals in the game and his defensive effort has been a big reason for the Pacers success this season.--Jake King-Finnen - RotoBaller
