Kosta Koufus

Kosta Koufus is on the market, and he would be a major asset for the Eastern conference’s 6th place Indiana Pacers. While he may not be the first option among current bigs on the trading block, his skill set would be a crucial addition for the Pacers.

The possibility of acquiring the 7-foot Sacramento King is extremely achievable and necessary if Indiana cannot snag the likes of Ibaka, Noel, Gibson or Faried. Koufus is averaging 6.2 points per game and 5.4 rebounds per game in 19.2 minutes.

He is a solid player who could bolster Indiana’s effort off its struggling bench with his strong post play, quality mid-range jumper, rebounding and defense efforts.
