Former Syracuse basketball player Oshae Brissett on Tuesday night helped lead the Indiana Pacers to a win in the NBA’s initial Eastern Conference play-in tournament game, and I couldn’t be happier for the role that he has carved out with the Pacers.

A two-year player for the Orange, the 6-foot-7 forward from Canada wasn’t chosen in the 2019 NBA Draft. The Toronto Raptors, a squad that captured the NBA title two seasons ago, signed Brissett as an undrafted free agent but waived him last December.
