Oladipo only managed 19 games last season and recorded 14.5 points per game, which is almost 3 points lower than his career average. With a running mate like Giannis, the numbers could go up over 20 points per game.

The two-time All-Star is set to earn $21 million during the 2020-21 season before becoming an unrestricted free agent.
