The trade that brought Caris LeVert to the Indiana Pacers took a bit of time to marinate as he missed roughly two months prior to his debut with the team. Since he stepped into the lineup, LeVert has been a prominent starter and scoring option for a team that has needed that kind of creator.
Victor Oladipo was supposed to be the building block for the Pacers up until an injury derailed his progress and left the team with a very solid backup plan in Domantas Sabonis.
