NBA Team of the Week (Jan. 15 - Jan. 21)

Shooting Guard - Victor Oladipo

Victor Oladipo has become Indiana's main man

Team record: 2-2

Player stats in the week: 23.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg on 46% shooting, 33% from threes, +8.5 bpm, +14.1 net rating, 14.6 player impact estimate

It was a tough decision between McCollum and Oladipo, but the latter prevailed on the basis of advanced statistics and being the main man of the team.

Pacers had impressive wins over Spurs and Jazz in the week but also had dud games against the Lakers and Blazers. Despite going 2-2, Oladipo's advanced stats like net rating and box plus-minus are way in the positive, showing how much his team struggles when he sits out. The Most Improved Player frontrunner is our shooting guard of the week.
