Victor Oladipo is just weeks away from embarking on the most important season of his young NBA career. The Maryland native spent his first three seasons in the league in Orlando, playing for three different coaches on Magic teams that finished with 23, 25, and 35 wins. As such, he has yet to dip his toes into the ultra-competitive waters of the NBA playoffs or even games that carry real significance in the regular season.
That all changed on June 24th when he was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for long-time defense staple and Thunder fan favorite, Serge Ibaka.
