2× All-NBA4× All-StarMost Improved Player

The Pacers' two-way fulcrum and a 2026 All-Star, a long-armed combo forward who scored 24 a night on efficient 56% true shooting with elite ball security (80th pct) and a knack for getting to the line (77th pct foul-drawing). He won't space the floor at an elite clip (35.8% from three) but rebounds, passes, and bullies switches — a do-everything anchor at his $49M number.

Seasons from Basketball-Reference (2023-24 → 2025-26). Production is box plus-minus, a per-possession measure. Value is VORP-based wins, so it also counts games played. Contract value is what each season’s play would fetch on the open market. The dotted 2026-27 point is a forecast: his established level, a year older, assuming a normal season.
