The Indiana Pacers have signed Mac McClung, and Cyro Asseo breaks down
why this isn’t a routine depth move—it’s a response to a full-blown
backcourt crisis. With multiple guards sidelined, Indiana shifts from
optimization to survivability, targeting McClung’s self-creation,
downhill burst, and transition pop to keep the offense afloat.
Cyro covers:
Context of crisis: why the Pacers needed an instant shot-creator now.
Tactical fit: how McClung’s speed and vertical pop align with Carlisle’s
pace/“random offense.”
Half-court test: decision-making, turnover control, and off-ball utility
when Nembhard/McConnell return.
Contract strategy: low-risk, multi-year structure for flexibility and
evaluation.
Benchmarks: TS%, A:TO, and second-unit stabilization as early
indicators.
Tap in for the full analysis and what this means short- and long-term
for Indiana’s guard rotation.
