The Indiana Pacers are looking at an offseason where they’ll be losing Darren Collison, Thaddeus Young and Bojan Bogdanovic, but adding Malcolm Brogdon, T.J. Warren and Jeremy Lamb is one hell of a pivot.
On a bargain contract, the Pacers will be bringing in a 27-year-old wing who posted a career-high 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last season. Outside of Kemba Walker, Lamb was one of the few good things about the Charlotte Hornets’ 2018-19 season.
Whether he’s coming off the bench or rises to the rank of starter, Lamb will be a solid depth piece for a team that’s eagerly awaiting Victor Oladipo’s return so it can get its dark horse ambitions for winning the East back on track.
