Victor Oladipo says he's more focused on basketball now with Pacers

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo says he is excited to be back in Indiana where he played in college, and he is more focused on basketball this season.

What It Means:

"I feel like the past couple of years I was just concerned about so much, that it kind of consumed my basketball talent," Oladipo told NBA TV. "I was concerned about what people may think about me, what others are saying, I was worried about stuff I can't control." Now in Indianapolis, Oladipo is going to be playing in front of a very forgiving crowd and media because of his Hoosier roots. He'll also be one of the top options offensively next to Myles Turner, and that could pay dividends for his fantasy production.

Our models project Oladipo for 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists over 34.1 minutes on Wednesday. That's a net of 28.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $6,100.
