Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
The Pacers don’t do this deal for Portis or Connoaughton.
Although, they could each be useful next season. Portis is an ideal backup for Myles Turner. The Pacers could plug him in for their starter without compromising their floor spacing, or too much of their defense.
Still, that’s not the point here. The point here is to acquire Beauchamp. If the Pacers don’t like what they see in him, they won’t be interested in this deal.
They should. Beauchamp only had limited opportunities in Milwaukee, but he flashed potential as a strong two-way wing when he was on the floor.
