Near the mid-way point of the season, and after just being burnt by Bojan Bogdanovic, what better time to compare where the Indiana Pacers sat last year compared to this season.
Sure, when Bogdanovic made his free agency trek to Utah, and when undisputed leader Thaddeus Young took a similar trip up I-65, there were some concerns. There is no doubt, that the losses have been felt. However, adding T.J. Warren to fill one of those gaps has eased that pain tremendously.
In some ways, Warren is actually a better fit for Indiana than Bogdanovic, who is arguably the more talented scorer.
