        I thought TJ Leaf could be a decent player and maybe he still can.

            The issue since day one is Pacers wanted him to focus in playing inside instead of focusing in been a floor stretcher and a shooter.

            He had all the tool to be Ryan Anderson 2.0

              I completely disagree with you. He isn't a very good shooter. He is a good rebounder, and has some decent inside post moves.

                This tells me that Leaf demanded a trade. Bet some guy doesn't even make the team.

                  This move was made to save the Pacers money so that might be it for the rest of the off season

                    I mean he is what he is now but the tools were there to develop them that’s the reason why I wanted Pacers to draft him.

                      I see they re-signed Jakaar. Nice. Like the guy's energy.

                        Between Lecque (who is the some guy in this trade) & Cassius Stanley our Mad Ants will be extremely athletic.

                          He shot 43% from 3 his rookie year. Small sample size, yes, but reason to believe he's got something of a touch.

                          It's hard to get into rhythm when you never see the court. I simply don't buy that he was so bad as to be unplayable.

                          I understand not playing a first rounder when you're priming for a deep playoff run. For us, though, the lack of playing time he got was inexcusable. And as a result, the fact is we can't say with any certainty what he can or can't do at this level.

                            Well then we didn’t scout him well because he sucked at shooting at UCLA. I don’t know where the notion that he was a floor stretcher ever came from.

                              No he didn't.
