The Lance Stephenson — Kevin Seraphin pick-and-roll is dead. According to a Shams Charania report, the Pacers have waived Seraphin before his guarantee date.
This news was unexpected. Kevin Pritchard and the whole Pacers organization made multiple comments about Seraphin this offseason that gave the impression he would be on the roster to start the season. However, it was always a possibility that the French center would be cut to free up more playing time for the glut of young bigs on the roster.
Seraphin and prodigal franchise star Lance Stephenson developed an exciting pick-and-roll chemistry in the few games they played together at the end of last season, and it looked as if the duo would make up a big portion of the second unit offense.
