Daniel Theis, Isaiah Jackson, and Jalen Smith will be battling for minutes
The backup center competition will be unique for the blue and gold in that many players will be vying for a small amount of playing time. Daniel Theis, Isaiah Jackson, and Jalen Smith would all love to be"I think that's all going to play out on the court. Obviously, I think Myles is going to be an anchor for us. The other three guys, between Isaiah, Jalen, Daniel, it's going to be very competitive starting from day one," general manager Chad Buchanan said on Tuesday.
Jackson provides an athleticism element that nobody else on the roster can. He jumps out of the gym, and the vertical spacing he adds pairs well with some of Indiana's passers. "I think coach Carlisle and us in the front office want to see how it plays out on the court. We don't want to give anybody something right now. It's got to be earned," Buchanan said of the backup center minutes."I think that's the growth of a team, the growth of a player is earning your minutes and earning your role," he continued."Daniel had a great offseason with his German national team. Isaiah and Jalen had great summers with us.
A Pacers team chasing wins could prefer Theis. If they are looking at development, then Jackson or Smith could be the answer, with fit and improvement being important factors. There is no wrong answer for the blue and gold.
