It was a relatively quiet summer for the Pacers in free agency. The core of the team was already under contract and the team's top priority was re-signing point guard T.J. McConnell, the leader of the second unit.
The team added several rookies to the roster, drafting Chris Duarte and Isaiah Jackson in the first round of the NBA Draft and signing Duane Washington Jr. and DeJon Jarreau to two-way contracts. But Indiana acquired just one veteran this offseason, signing 30-year-old forward Torrey Craig.
Craig may not be a household name to casual NBA fans, but the Pacers valued a number of attributes in the 6-7, 220-pound forward.
