Pretty much everyone who follows the Indiana Pacers or the NBA closely knows that Victor Oladipo is the frontrunner for the Most Improved Player (MIP) award. His transformation from a decent play finisher that plays solid defense to an offensive leader and initiator, seemingly overnight, has been magical. He took his scoring average from 16.9 points to game to 24.9, his assists have jumped from 2.6 per game to 3.9, and his rebounds, steals, and blocks are all up substantially over last season.
Combine his per game statistical improvements with his stylistic improvements, some significant increases in shooting percentage, and lockdown perimeter defense, and there is no question that Victor Oladipo is one of, if not the, most improved basketball player this season.
