No mention of Uthoff?!?

Can he play 3 with GRob injured?

According to Nate, TJ is going to play the 3. Not sure I like that.

If he could play the 3 he'd be a big one.

I see the Grizz are waiving Wade Baldwin IV why not pick this kid up? He was the 17th over all pick in 2016.

I liked him as a prospect last year. I think his comp was to George Hill. Wonder what's the deal with him.

I'm not convinced he can play the 3, but if he can that would be huge.

Obviously TJ is not ready to start yet, but if he could develop into the starting 3 in a year or two...TJ, Myles and Sabonis for the front line. I like that offensively...defensively would be the issue.

me neither. it feels like long range we have some duplication at the 4 and 5 but as long as everyone is on rookie contracts it shouldn't be a problem. maybe we can play like Denver did years ago - was that Doug Moe as coach or Larry Brown - making hockey substitutions and running teams into the ground.

Jarrod Uthoff doesn’t have much to say, he’d rather show you.

The trouble was that the Pacers found it difficult to play the second-year forward any meaningful minutes during their four-game preseason. The 24-year-old out of the University of Iowa appeared in two games, but did not log enough minutes to make thoughtful conclusions about his game at this level.

“Coming in and playing the right way,” Uthoff said of what he could provide. “I can play both ways, which is so important nowadays. Be able to guard and play multiple positions, create mismatches. I think I’m great in all of those areas.”

This conversation was last Wednesday in the middle of the Pacers locker room. With 20 players in camp and not enough lockers, four of them had a small spot at the front of the room to keep personal items and a change of clothes. Uthoff was one of those.
