Indiana Basketball: Five former players who could have benefited from profiting from their likeness
By Adam Childs
3. Victor Oladipo
Oladipo is the classic case of a less-heralded player coming into a school and developing into a star. As a freshman, he averaged under 10 points a game and was just a role player, but he made a big jump into his sophomore year and even bigger to his junior year.
Oladipo turned into a force defensively and excited the crowd with his athleticism and dunking ability. He went from a relatively unknown player to one of the most exciting players in the country. He was a nightmare for their Big Ten opponents to control.
Oladipo was a key piece to getting Indiana back on the map after struggling for years. He helped the Hoosiers win an outright Big Ten title in 2012-13, but more importantly, had Assembly Hall rocking every home game.
Because of his dunks, Oladipo became a household name, especially in the Midwest. He was also a very likable player that would have done well with promoting himself and doing appearances.
He was also very popular with the fans and his jersey would fly off the shelf. Oladipo was definitely a player whose legend grew as his college career went on and developed into a star.
