NBA India Games 2019: 3 Indiana Pacers players to watch out for

#1 Malcolm Brogdon

Brogdon signed with Indiana as part of a sign-and-trade with the Milwaukee Bucks for future picks

Brogdon's positive effect on any team's offense is something often overlooked. The former Rookie of the Year posted career-high scoring averages of 15.6 points per game through his last season with the Milwaukee Bucks. In contrast to following years, Malcolm was a rather underwhelming 36th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

Netting 92% of his free throws last season, the 26-year-old played a pivotal role in the Bucks' league-leading win-loss record of 60-22. In addition, the former Virginia guard shot a career-high 50.5% from the field and an imposing 42.6% from beyond the arc.

His ability to drive to the rim as well as make room for jumpers is a highly underrated facet within his game and a treat to watch for those who appreciate fundamentally sound basketball plays. It'll be interesting to see how he fares, especially as the NBA India games will be his first ever official showing in a Pacers uniform after his summer move.
