Shooting Guard Matchup: Victor Oladipo v Tyler Johnson

This one is easy.

Tyler Johnson’s nickname is, apparently, “Bumpy”, and it’s no secret on the internet that he looks strikingly similar to Mose Schrute. This is Bumpy’s fourth season in the league and the first in which he’s gotten a chance to start a significant chunk of games, but other than a slight uptick in effective field goal percentage, most other numbers are all down.

Meanwhile, Vic has twice as many total win shares (7.9 to 4) and is a lock for this year’s Most Improved award. Feathery is the exact opposite of Bumpy. Tyler Johnson is a perfectly average NBA player, and luckily for us, Vic is not. He is far better

(Significant) Advantage: Pacers
