The Pacers drafted Tristen Newton, who won back-to-back titles at UConn, at pick No. 49. Almost halfway into his rookie season, he's now moving on to Minnesota after being claimed on waivers.
So u say Newton became expendable cause Pacers were heavy on guards, so they sign a 6-2 guard. Was not impressed with Newton in the summer league! So did not surprise me.
I'm saying Newton wanted the chance to go elsewhere because they were guard heavy. But it does work out for both sides. My preference would be for them to get a wing, the most-coveted position and hardest to find. You can always get guards. And they already have Jackson.

So guard for a guard??
