Indiana Pacers All-Star shooting guard Victor Oladipo showed glances of a vintage Dwyane Wade, stuffing the daylight out of Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein on Thursday night.

The former Hoosier's block was so impressive, that it had both commentators in vocal unison during the play. Take a look at the video below.

Perhaps the greatest thing about Oladipo's block isn't just how clean it is, despite giving up eight inches on the former Kentucky product, but the fact that he shows some major vertical leap, elevating without a run-up and using every inch of his wingspan to deny the Kings center.

Furthermore, Oladipo displayed a rare audacity for someone his size to meet straight up in mid-air with the big man who's also athletic in his own right.

Just fan-tastic!

Oladipo is no stranger to blocking shots, despite an eerily similar frame to Wade at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds — having collected his 52nd block of the regular season, putting him two shy of his career-best 54 during his final year with the Orlando Magic in 2015-16.

Oladipo has really done wonders for the Pacers this season. Not only is he performing at his best, he's also carrying Indiana on his back and making Kevin Pritchard look like an absolute genius by pulling the trigger on the Paul George trade that sent Oladipo to Indianapolis.

Rejections like this will come aplenty for Oladipo as he's yet to enter his prime, with much more athletic juice in his joints to power himself for huge big-man rejections going forward.
