Ranking all Indiana Pacers players based on future value
By Joe Lyon
#10 Terry Taylor
Terry Taylor began the year in the starting lineup. The rebounding specialist showed some promise of improving upon his three-point shot as well. In recent games, his minutes have declined. Yet, if another big like Myles Turner were to get traded, his minutes would likely climb quickly given his unique skillset.
#9 Aaron Nesmith
The prize of the Malcolm Brogdon trade, Aaron Nesmith continues to be a bit of an unknown quality. He has shown some flashes on the defensive side of the ball as well as some ability to shoot in his basketball career previously, and thus, could fit a major role as a wing on a team that desperately needs them.
#8 Andrew Nembhard
Nembhard continues to impress with a high basketball IQ as well as the ability to play exceptional defense. His ability to play multiple positions on the court allows him to seamlessly fit next to other ball-dominant scoring guards such as Mathurin and Haliburton.
#7 Myles Turner
The proverbial question: Will Myles Turner be on the Pacers beyond this season? While the answer may increasingly look like no, there are many ways the Pacers can turn Turner into future draft capital that would be foundational to their future.
