As individual workouts have gotten underway at the Ascension St. Vincent Center and Pacers players have slowly cycled through their initial Zoom media availabilities of the 2020-21 season, they have inevitably been asked for their initial impressions of new head coach Nate Bjorkgren.
To a man, they've all expressed their excitement about Bjorkgren's system. But perhaps the two players who stand to benefit most under the direction of Indiana's new coaching staff are point guard Malcolm Brogdon and center Myles Turner.
Bjorkgren has talked about playing with greater pace and taking more 3-pointers. Indiana ranked 22nd in the NBA in pace and last in 3-point attempts last season under Nate McMillan, but playing faster and shooting more from beyond the 3-point arc plays to the strengths of both Brogdon and Turner.
