5 roster moves the Indiana Pacers need to make this offseason
Offseason roster moves the Indiana Pacers need to make: 3. Guarantee Oshae Brissett
Oshae Brissett has had to work for everything that he has been able to acheive in the NBA. He signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Toronto Raptors back in 2019 and he worked his way onto the Raptors roster by earning himself a two-way deal that same season. This was then converted to a regular season contract at the start of the 2020 season.
After being waived by the Raptors a month later, Brissett then had to wait four and a half months before signing a 10-day contract with the Pacers. He then signed a second 10-day contract. He obviously was able to impress the right people as he signed a contract with the Pacers for the 2021-22 season.
However, when signing the deal, the Pacers chose not to guarantee the 2022-23 season. Well, after they blew up the roster at the trade deadline, Brissett is a good low-cost option to keep. His production belies the $1.8 milliion due next season.
Brissett has averaged 9.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in his time with the Pacers. He has turned into a solid 3-point shooter going at 36.8 percent which is always useful for a team looking to form an identity.
