Indiana Pacers: What to expect from Oshae Brissett next season

What should we reasonably expect from Brissett and the Indiana Pacers next season?

With T.J. Warren returning from injury and no official word on the future of Myles Turner or Domantas Sabonis, the early expectation would be for Brissett to come off the bench while still being a major piece in the rotation.

I would expect Oshae to be a high-minute player whether he starts or not, similar to Justin Holiday and Doug McDermott. He can come off the bench for 22-26 minutes on any given night and be a force for Indiana.

He will also enter the starting lineup when injuries eventually arise. He can play pretty much anywhere on the floor with the promise of flexibility on the perimeter. Justin Holiday was the only Pacer to play in every game last season so having someone who can fill in wherever needed would be a massive boost to the roster, as we saw last season.

Predicting stat lines is quite difficult, especially when there is not a clear role for Brissett as the offseason begins. However, something in the range of 12 points, six rebounds, and a shooting percentage of 38 percent from downtown seems like a realistic goal.

If Brissett starts more often than not, then those numbers could see a significant jump to nearly 15 points and eight rebounds.

The Pacers should not be afraid to trust Brissett next season. He looked like a star on some nights last season and the Pacers found quite a bit of success with him in the lineup. I would expect that to remain the case next season.
