Pacers' baffling draft choice now looks a whole lot better

In one of the most head-scratching moves of last month's draft, the Indiana Pacers selected Taelon Peter with the 54th pick. This move was questionable because he was not a widely-known prospect or on anybody's big board. Additionally, many Pacers fans wanted the team to draft Ryan Nembhard, who ultimately went undrafted.

It is an incredibly small sample size, and it remains to be seen if the Liberty alum will make an impact in Indiana. However, early on, the results look good.

In four summer league games, Peter averaged 9.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.8 assists while shooting 57.
