[Franchero MVP 391]

Throughout an Orlando Magic season that's been characterized by transition and uncertainty, this much has become clear: Victor Oladipo is steadily working his way toward superstardom.

 

On the whole, the former No. 2 overall pick has avoided bouts of sophomore regression. Oladipo's scoring average is up nearly four points over last season, with his shooting splits indicative of increased comfort as a primary perimeter option.

 

For a little more context, get this: Oladipo is one of seven guards averaging at least 17 points on at least 45 percent shooting, according to Basketball-Reference.com.

 

The other six are as follows:

 

Stephen Curry

Chris Paul

Kyrie Irving

Klay Thompson

Eric Bledsoe

Dwyane Wade

definitely been stepping it up. I don't know if I would say bona fide star, but I am optimistic about what he can be. I think Jimmy Butler-level is not out of the realm of possibility

Still think this dude is "the next Wade". Hopefully this is more than a phase.
