What do the Indiana Pacers still need to fix prior to the upcoming NBA season?

Not a single team in the NBA is perfect and the Indiana Pacers are far from that mark as they prepare for their first season with Rick Carlisle back at the helm. They missed the playoffs last season but are returning much of the same roster this time around, leading many to believe they will see many of the same struggles.

They were knocked out of contention during last year’s Play-In Tournament when the Washington Wizards handed them a disappointing loss. T.J. Warren is the only saving grace for this season as he hopes to return from injury but that is still up in the air after recent news suggests he could be out a while longer.
