When Oshae Brissett signed a three-year deal with the Indiana Pacers on April 21, it was met with a positive reaction. There was a sense that Brissett could crack the rotation and provide Indiana with some help on the wing.
Since then, Brissett has exceeded even the optimist’s outlook on his impact. Not only is the 22-year old combo forward providing some much-needed spacing and athleticism at the three and four spots on offense, but he’s also proven to be one of the Pacers’ best defenders – and maybe their best weakside defender available right now with Myles Turner sidelined.
