The Pacers spent much of their offseason acquiring new talent to see what kinds of players they could get. They snagged Darren Collison to be a facilitator, Bojan Bogdanovic to be a shooter, Victor Oladipo to be a scorer, and Domantas Sabonis to be a prospect.
Well, at least they thought Sabonis would be a prospect. Instead, he has turned into an already effective player and has morphed into a sixth man. He’s averaging 12.5 points and 8 rebounds per game while shooting 54.3 percent from the field. These are excellent numbers for any player, especially one in just his second season.
