It seemed like a baffling pick just one month ago, but Taelon Peter may have already proven himself to be the perfect player for Rick Carlisle's system with the Indiana Pacers.
Heading into last month's draft, the Liberty alum was essentially on nobody's radar, yet the Pacers drafted him with the 54th pick. This was a questionable move for multiple reasons. Not only was Peter widely projected to go undrafted, but Indiana selected him over Gonzaga guard Ryan Nembhard, who many fans wanted on the team.
It is still too early to definitely say the Pacers made out like geniuses by drafting Peter, but the results look good early on.
