Predictions are basically educated guesses and more often than not breakout players come out of nowhere, either a once promising player that had stalled or a player that played far and away better than anyone could have....predicted.
Of the former, Victor Oladipo was a fine example: a player who was a high draft pick, #2 in 2013, that was left for dead or rather traded as dead weight. Who in their right mind would have ever thought the Oladipo/Domantas Sabonis for Paul George trade could’ve ever been seen as a wash or even that Indiana may have won?
