5 free agent power forwards that could alter the Pacers’ future
By Joe Lyon
4. Jerami Grant
Jerami Grant was hopeful to join a contender when he went out to Portland after his short stint in Detroit. Unfortunately, to date, the date has not necessarily gone well. The Portland Trailblazers are not performing at a high level and have been relatively disappointing. Jerami may be looking for a change in scenary with a promising young team. Sound like anyone you know?
22-23 stat line: 22.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 49% FG
Grant is an efficient scorer who is able to defend other forwards at a high level. While Jerami is never going to be an elite player, he is one that could easily slot onto a playoff or contending team.
3. PJ Washington
The Pacers could really stand to benefit from the horrific season the Hornets have had to date this year. PJ Washington is scheduled to finish up his first contract, and will be looking for his next opportunity. And given the Hornets have been awful this year, there is a chance he will be looking for a change in scenery.
22-23 stat line: 15.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 43% FG
While not as impressive a stat line as others on this list, he may be more attainable and is big and quick enough to guard the type of forwards the Pacers usually struggle with.
