“He is a very solid player”, Remark Rick Carlisle. “He’s doing a lot of good things. He knows his game. He’s learned our system quickly. I think it’s a solid right time.”
Coming off an 11-game losing streak, the 27-year-old fits the mold of the Pacers, whose playing identity remains strong despite a disastrous season.
“We want to play fast, with pace and space in this league. I know that’s our offensive job: pace and space. I try to do my job as well as possible, to create for my teammates, whether it’s passing, shooting or making screens.”he states.
“Ray of Sun”
This first good game and its energy in general is just, for a Pacers locker room in the middle of a depression, good news, of sorts “rays of the sun” according to TJ McConnell.
“He’s playing well. Hats off to him,” initiates a playmaker switch. “He came in and had to learn our defense, offense and the way we play. He went to work right away and I’m really happy that he came here and played the way he did.”
It remains only to confirm this individual aspect with a victory. “ We are competitors, we want to win. When we are in a negative streak, we are in a rut. We must find reasons for satisfaction, other than success”reported by Micah Potter. “So I’m trying to bring joy, interact with the crowd, change the dynamic, encourage guys, set screens to get good shots and get guys back into rhythm.”
