Indiana’s relationship with the Fort Wayne Mad Ants is somewhat perplexing. By definition they’re singly affiliated, but in action...well...that’s harder to define.
They never mined the farm club’s talent, despite having need at Ben Bentil, Alex Poythress, and Jarrod Uthoff’s position, because they were already carrying a full 15-man roster. Meanwhile, Joe Young played two games with the Mad Ants, and Georges Niang played six. This, despite the fact that it was obvious that neither player was going to earn a permanent rotation spot.
Heck, they weren’t even given much of a chance to prove themselves worthy of a temporary rotation spot.
