Starting at Summer League, they tried him at the three spot and said going into this season, for you to get on the floor, you're probably going to have to play more at the three because that's the spot of need, right? So that was one of his emphasis for the last year. first couple of months leading into training camp.
Not specifically, no. I would say there's right points, but as many of those there are, there's also some questionable, like, what are you doing? You're in the wrong spot, or you didn't follow your man, and little things like that. So I don't think there's anything convincing one way or another, which probably speaks to his lack of experience and his age a little bit.

And again, like Matherin, he benefited from these early minutes that were made available due to injury. I will mention, too, here, Going into any season here in the last probably decade, the one position the Pacers had not had to worry about was center. And so it's notable that this season that's probably been their biggest issue because of the injuries. But here's why it's even more notable.

Isaiah Jackson, who suffered that Achilles injury, he's in a contract year. They didn't have an agreement coming off his rookie extension. Secondly, Miles Turner, they could not, by CBA rules, negotiate at all. So that window has to wait till free agency after he did a renegotiation and extend over a year and a half ago.

So the Pacers will enter free agency without a center on their roster, which is different from when Pacer fans were like, do we really want to see Turner and Sabonis and... Because of that, several years ago, neither player was really able to maximize their effort. So that's something I'm significantly watching here in the next six months as well.

Because also, if you're in this position and you don't want to bring back miles or maybe you can't afford them because the luxury taxes may be something else we need to get into, then you would trade off that player. But right now, they don't have that benefit right now just due to health and youth.

Well, here's the challenge in that. They are right up against the luxury tax. Now, that's where, if anything, I could see them making moves is to offload a contract or two because the Pacers' front office essentially chose to run it back this season. They liked what they saw last year. Obviously, the team had success. I call it a little bit of fool's gold, though, given the injuries.

They definitely outperformed anybody's expectation. The goal was to get to the playoffs again for the first time in about a half dozen years, and they reached the conference finals. But in terms of Miles, I think this is probably that last significant contract for him. And if you're him, you're probably pushing for $25 million, $27 million.
