With three standard roster spots left to fill, the Pacers might want to consider circling back to the 6-foot-4, 219-pound bruising, shooting guard who piqued their interest — but, ultimately turned them down — last summer.
“Indiana wanted me for two years, but Cleveland seemed like a better fit,” free agent swingman David Nwaba said at the time, per Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. “Young guys as well as veterans on this team, so I thought it was a perfect fit and knew I was going to get my opportunity here.”
A year later, and if both sides were interested in returning to the bargaining table, Nwaba’s opportunity would most likely come in the form of providing tough-minded, portable resistance off the bench in the wake of moving on from major defensive contributor’s Cory Joseph and Thaddeus Young.
