While all the talk in Oklahoma City has revolved around Russell Westbrook and his triple-doubles, Victor Oladipo has quietly slid under-the-radar in terms of fantasy value.
| Player | Games | Games ≥ 4.5x | Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Victor Oladipo | 48 | 28 | 58.33% |
Unlike Westbrook, Oladipo is averaging just 26.8 FDP per game. Still, the fourth-year shooting guard has shown consistency in outperforming his salary. He's reached or surpassed the 4.5 points per $1,000 threshold 28 times and is creeping close to doing so at a clip of 60%.
Oladipo has been regularly priced around $6,000, and for that price, you get a player that has scored more than 30 FDP on 15 different occasions. Like many other shooting guards, most of Oladipo's production comes via his scoring (16.1 points per game), but he does also throw in 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals each night.
