Leaf Rejoins Rotation with Focus on Improvement
It's too soon to know what kind of NBA player TJ Leaf will become, and whether the Pacers' decision to invest the 18th overall pick in this year's draft on him was a wise one.
What we know for sure is that Leaf has the support of his teammates as he works his way through the inevitable inconsistencies of his rookie season. Some nights he plays a lot, some nights he plays a little, some nights he doesn't play at all. Some nights he plays well, some nights he doesn't.
But every night is a learning experience. And the educational opportunities are about to increase.
