Indiana Pacers Sign Mac McClung To A Deal

Indiana Pacers Sign Mac McClung To A Deal

The Indiana Pacers have signed Mac McClung, and Cyro Asseo breaks down why this isn’t a routine depth move—it’s a response to a full-blown backcourt crisis. With multiple guards sidelined, Indiana shifts from optimization to survivability, targeting McClung’s self-creation, downhill burst, and transition pop to keep the offense afloat.

Cyro covers:

Context of crisis: why the Pacers needed an instant shot-creator now.

Tactical fit: how McClung’s speed and vertical pop align with Carlisle’s pace/“random offense.”

Half-court test: decision-making, turnover control, and off-ball utility when Nembhard/McConnell return.

Contract strategy: low-risk, multi-year structure for flexibility and evaluation.

Benchmarks: TS%, A:TO, and second-unit stabilization as early indicators.

Tap in for the full analysis and what this means short- and long-term for Indiana’s guard rotation.
