Many fans were disappointed with the moves (or lack thereof) the Pacers made on the trade deadline. Many fans had their eyes set towards big names on the market such as OG Anunoby or Obi Toppin (ourselves included!). However, the players that they did manage to get, namely Jordan Nwora, could already fill a role that we desperately need filled.
It appears that the players that were acquired by the Pacers were happy to be here and already starting to get involved in the team:

Pacers fans got to see what Nwora could bring for the first time on Monday night as they watched the Pacers compete against the Jazz. Both Nwora and Hill suited up for the first time. The results seemed promising as Nwora had a few highlights himself right off the bat in his first game with Indiana.

The early results look promising. And fans were extremely positive after the initial performance from Nwora, who had 7 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist in 17 minutes played. While those stats won’t blow anyone away, keep in mind that this is Nwora’s first game in Indiana in a new system and he seemed to fit in really well initially.
So who is Jordan Nwora?
