It seems like there's one every season. A player who looks like a legit NBA player, a guy who deserves to be in the league somewhere, but is stuck in a game of musical chairs and appears doomed to be in the wrong place when the music stops.
Toney Douglas appears to be that guy for the Pacers. Everyone speaks highly of him and sounds as if they would love to have him on the team, but everyone knows the cruel math. The roster limit is 15, and the Pacers already had 15 fully guaranteed contracts when he signed a partially guaranteed deal.
