Indiana Pacers Profile: Post-injury Victor Oladipo is crucial to Indiana

Weaknesses

Things beyond his basketball game

Victor Oladipo is very polished on both sides of the basketball court so I have to look beyond that to find weaknesses. This offseason some suspect behavior by Oladipo caused an uproar throughout the Pacers community, even if it may have been unwarranted.

He didn’t speak up for himself and had others do it for him which included Shams and his sister. Pacers fans are worried that Oladipo may get up and leave us since we still have the memories of Paul George in our heads. The main point that all of this revolves around is the fact that he is on the last year of his contract and has reportedly already turned down an extension offer because he believed his value was being undercut.

From what we’ve seen, this is a reasonable reaction from Vic. Hopefully, this whole situation gets revolved so it doesn’t turn into a whole team problem, distracting them from the goal at hand, winning.
