The 23-year-old appeared in 74 games last season, averaging 14.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game on his way to finishing second in the KIA NBA Sixth Man of the Year award.

With Thaddeus Young leaving Indiana to join the Chicago Bulls in the offseason, Sabonis is projected to move into a starting role next to Myles Turner, as the Pacers attempt to reach the postseason for the fifth consecutive season.
