Caris LeVert – Indiana Pacers
One of the more underrated players on the Indiana Pacers’ roster right now is Caris LeVert. He was traded to the Pacers last season as part of the James Harden to Brooklyn deal that also sent Victor Oladipo from Indiana to Houston and since joining the Pacers, he has looked like a solid offensive weapon on the wing.
In 54 total games with Indiana, LeVert has averaged 18.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists and has shot 43.7% from the floor, but just 30.2% from long-range. Not being much of a catch-and-shoot scorer, Caris LeVert may not hold a significant amount of interest on the trade market, but he is only 27-years-old and is a guy who can provide immediate scoring on the wing.
His ability to attack teams on the drive and get to the basket is definitely above-average and with every team in the league always looking to add talented players on the wing, there should be a few teams that show interest in him.
The price to get him should not be considered too high either. Caris LeVert is a high-level talent on the wing and can help a ton of playoff teams right away, but he is not going to have the same kind of price tag attached to him that the Pacers are putting on the likes of Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner.

Caris LeVert is expendable to this team and as a result, a young, dynamic talent and/or a first-round draft pick should be all it takes to land LeVert in a trade this season.
With just one year left on his contract after this season and being fairly affordable, Caris LeVert is going to wind up being on the move ahead of this season’s trade deadline. Keep an eye on the Hawks, Nuggets, Wizards and Mavericks are four teams who could show interest in the athletic wing.
Prediction: Traded
