OLADIPO
Victor Oladipo
G · 2013–2023
Victor Oladipo's career
Victor Oladipo played 10 seasons between 2013 and 2023, across 5 franchises — Magic, Thunder, Pacers, Rockets and Heat. Over 504 regular-season games he averaged 16.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.9 assists, finishing with 8,503 career points. He was 2× All-Star and 1× All-NBA.
He entered the league in the 2013 draft, taken 2th overall, a lottery pick expected to start immediately. That makes him a product of the 2010s, and his career totals should be read against the pace and rules of that period.
Across a solid career of 10 seasons he was a consistent starter at 16.9 points per game.

About the answer
The answer was OLADIPO — 7 letters, made up of 6 distinct letters and beginning with O.
The optional hint offered that day read: “Shooting guard · debuted 2013”.
Why this was a fair answer
Answers are never obscure by design: the pool is every NBA All-Star who debuted in the 1969-70 season or later, plus current players carrying a real scoring role. Victor Oladipo qualifies on the first route, with 2 All-Star selections — a repeat selection.
With 5 franchises on his record, the shared-team clue was unusually generous here — a wide range of guesses would have lit it up green and pointed the wrong way as often as the right one. He never won a title, which quietly rules out a large share of the most-guessed names.
