Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo says he watched a lot of basketball during his knee rehab.

Oladipo became a student of the game and watched a ton of games to learn how to become a better player for the Pacers moving forward:

“I think the biggest thing was just watching a lot of basketball,” Oladipo told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype. “Whenever you’re playing, you’re kind of just focused on playing and performing at the highest level possible. But over the last 10 and a half months, I had the opportunity to really watch a lot of games and really watch a lot of other players. I watched pretty much everyone, especially all of the best players, and I’d see why they’re so successful at certain things. I just tried to find different things that I can apply to my game, so that I can continue to grow and continue to separate myself as a player.”

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James said he watched every playoff game last season after not making the postseason for the first time since his second year in the league. All the best players in the NBA love to watch basketball so they can become smarter and learn tendencies which they can use to their advantage once they are on the court playing.

While it's still unclear when Oladipo will return for the Pacers, his rehab appears to be going really well and no setbacks have occurred.
