McConnell Still Aware of His Role for the Pacers

The June 14, 2015 pre-draft workout on the Pacers' former practice court within Bankers Life Fieldhouse was essentially a showcase for two players. Others were participating, but only two seemed under serious consideration.

Myles Turner and Frank Kaminsky, two big men with similar skill sets but disparate experience levels, went head-to-head in a halfcourt scrimmage while Pacers president Larry Bird and his scouting staff watched intently from the courtside bleachers. Every play was run to one of them, while the other defended.

Someone had to pass the ball, though, and some others had to set screens or provide passing targets, so the court was busy with bodies.
