    Pacer fan here.

    Stix as he’s referred to is a good player. You guys got a good one, at least as a backup F/C. He can shoot the ball from deep and is a decent rebounder. He’ll block a few shots every now and then. You can definitely do worse. Hope he can get and maintain a larger role with you guys. He’s a good teammate and was well liked here.

    Every so often he looks like he completely forgot how to play basketball, so that’s a thing. But most of the time he’s pretty solid.

    Take care of him!

    Under 25 signing. Cool. We are a DeMar sign and trade away from officially rebuilding (hopefully a quick one, save us Cooper Flagg)

    Hell yeah brother! 24 years old!

    AKME just keeps winning this off season.

    Current young core:
    – PWilly 22
    – Giddey 21
    – Coby 24
    – Smith 24
    – Ayo 24
    – Terry 21
    – Buzelis 19
    – Phillips 20

    This is what many of his have been begging for. It feels like Christmas that we’re finally escaping the mid three era.

    This is how I felt a couple of years ago for those few minutes when I confused Tony Bradley for Thomas Bryant. Man I had a weird player crush on Thomas Bryant.

    Love it, thought he was being underutilized at the Pacers and should be a great backup, or hopefully the starter if we trade Vuc.

    I’ve wanted this man on the bulls for forever lol

  7. awitkowski79

    I actually really like this pickup!

    DeMar is gone for sure now though

  8. This is a perfect replacement for Drummond. Let AKME cook

    Pacers fan here: yall got one of my favorite players from this season. bro is a stud in and out of the paint and plays solid D. he’s going to ball out for you guys coming off the bench

    These are the kind of signings I was hoping AKME made earlier. Young guy that’s bouncing around that can fill in a need in the current roster but maybe become something more as well in the future.

  11. Love this signing. A young big who’s a floor spacer is exactly what we need alongside Giddy

    Solid, good signing at reasonable money. And he’s sub-25. That’s what a team should do!

    Buy and acquire young, ascending talent. I think we could see a flurry of things happen today for Chicago. Especially with this announcement and PG making his decision overnight.

    Solid signing. Really good in fantasy basketball with STOCKs

    Spacing? From the center position? Okay!

  15. DrStevenBrule69

    Is this the dude with the rec specs?!?! Fuck yes. I love this guy.

    Getting younger, love it

    Are we collecting young players who also seem to fit around eachother? What the fuck is going on??

  18. Neat_On_The_Rocks

    Ayo – coby – giddey – p will – j.smith.

    Man, I can’t help but be excited. This sounds like a really exciting young developmental lineup

    Don’t get me wrong, they’ll be ass, our defense is shaping up to be abhorrent. But that’s ok.

    Trivia note: for the training camp last season, the Pacers had a one on one tournament that lasted all through preseason. This was kept out of the media.

    All the players played each other, many times, and a running score was kept. Eventually they had a elimination tournament.

    Jalen Smith won the entire competition.
