T.J. Leaf’s development could be crucial for the Pacers future

As a thought exercise, I would like you to name the Indiana Pacers 3rd string power forward. It’s a hard one, I’ll wait.

Give up? That’s because they don’t have one unless Alize Johnson makes the team. While we here at 8 Points 9 Seconds would never overreact (please don’t fact check that claim), T.J. Leaf looked abhorrent in his first summer league game.

He finished the game 2-14 shooting, and the process was worse than the results. Leaf forced shots into multiple defenders, repeatedly attacking and throwing up off balance prayers.
