#3 Victor Oladipo
The summer of 2017 was a tumultuous one for the Indiana Pacers, who had no idea they were getting an All-NBA Second Teamer and an All-Defensive First Teamer and the single best guard defender in the league when they traded Paul George to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis - a trade that can now be declared as a win-win for both teams.

The Pacers were so dependent on him that they lost all 6 games he missed during the regular season.
If Oladipo maintains his performances this season or takes a leap and the Pacers win up to 55 games, you would be hard-pressed to play down his MVP candidature.
