T.J. Warren has had a step-forward year with the Indiana Pacers this season.
While many of his years previously have focused on one or two specific points of emphasis, this season he’s put the pieces together and rolled out an extremely complete, all-around high-level season.
With the Pacers, he’s shown he can be a basketball player rather than a one or two-skill weapon.
When the Pacers traded for him this summer, the general sentiment was that he would bring some much-needed shooting and offense to the roster, especially with Victor Oladipo out at the start of the season, but that his defense was worrisome.
