Why The Indiana Pacers Do The Deal
Yes. Actually, that’s a big part of why we like this deal.
Vanderbilt is a versatile defensive forward. This is a player who can guard multiple positions. He’s also a plus passer, strong cutter, and high-feel player.
He can’t shoot. That’s roughly the only hole in Vanderbilt’s game. Luckily, it doesn’t matter much alongside Turner and Tyrese Haliburton.
Of course, that’s not all the Pacers get here. Beasley is a similar player to Hield, and he’s much younger.
