THE REWIND

New coach but a familiar face

The normal progression after a coaching change would be a learning curve between a new coach and the roster.

But the Pacers will expect minimal adjustments with new coach Nate McMillan when training camp starts.

McMillan, the lead assistant the last three seasons under former head coach Frank Vogel, brings a comfort level and familiarity.

McMillan also retained the assistants under Vogel, which will benefit the Pacers during the transition.

Taking advantage of trade market

Instead of overpaying in free agency, the Pacers utilized the trade market.

Before July 1, Indiana swapped George Hill for Jeff Teague and acquired veteran Thaddeus Young for the No. 20 overall pick in the draft.

Young is locked into a cap-friendly contract that pays $14 million annually for the next three seasons, and Teague is entering the final season of his deal for $8.8 million.

Had Young and Teague been free agents, their salaries would be nearly double. The Pacers have both at a great cost while retaining flexibility.

The 31-year-old veterans

The signings of Al Jefferson and Aaron Brooks, both 31, capped a strong offseason.

Jefferson’s value will be measured both on and off the court. With rookie standout Myles Turner still developing, Jefferson’s influence and tutelage will be instrumental.

Jefferson, hampered by midseason knee surgery last year, proved during the playoffs that he’s still an effective low-post presence.

Brooks is a backup point guard who can give Indiana some stability.
