Pacers draft Tristen Newton at 49

[JMaster5K]

I enjoyed watching Newton but it makes sense. There just wasn't a path to playing time.

And it'll get harder after then Pacers draft Ryan Nembhard in the second round next draft... haha

The report above said he asked to be released,... I think his agent already had him lined up with Minnesota, as it's been announced that Rob Dillingham is out for at least 2 weeks, and even when he returns, likely won't be up to speed. Leaving Mike Conley as their only PG.

There is definitely an opportunity for Newton to get more NBA coaching and time in the short term with the T-wolves.

I see. That makes sense. Thanks.
