No. 1: Victor Oladipo (2013)

The other member of the 2013 draft class from Indiana, Oladipo has had a resurgence the past two seasons.

Drafted second overall by the Orlando Magic, he is starting to play up to his draft pick, averaging 21.0 points per game in his past two years with the Pacers, before suffering a season ending injury in 2019.

Oladipo has been an All-Star for two straight years and turned into the face of the Indiana Pacers franchise.

Not only is he one of the most likable players in the league, he is also one of the hardest workers, on both ends of the floor.

A terrific two-way guard, Oladipo has turned into a star in the NBA and will try to replicate his past couple of years in the 2019-20 season when he returns from injury.
