Making an evaluation of an NBA prospect after five Summer League games would be risky, given the history of how these things often play out. What, then, can be said of a player after five Summer League practices?
The Pacers' coaches and players offered positive impressions of first-round draft pick Aaron Holiday before catching a Wednesday flight to Las Vegas, where they will begin Summer League play on Friday at 3 p.m., EST, against Houston.
One would hope so, given his status as the Pacers' first-round draft pick, taken 23rd overall last month. But the compliments seem sincere, and the analyses weighted down with substance.
