There are no characteristics on both ends of the offense and defense. The Pacers older second-round pick s immediate combat ability seems to be very limited?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Phoenix Suns at home defeated the Indiana Pacers 133-98. After this game, the Suns, who had won 5 consecutive victories, improved their record to 8-5, and continued to rank seventh in the Western Conference; while the Pacers, who had suffered a 6-game losing streak, dropped to 1-11, and continued to rank second from the bottom in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Pacers' substitute backcourt rookie Taelon Peter was still lackluster. Pitt played for 9 minutes and 23 seconds, making 1 of 3 shots and 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line. He had 3 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal. He also had 2 turnovers, with a plus-minus of -2. Pitt does not have a strong personal scoring ability on the offensive end, nor is he able to achieve very good results. He also lacks contributions in passing and organization. On the defensive end, Pitt is not even a qualified defender, and his defensive contribution is also very limited. Overall, Pete's presence on the court is really very low. It seems that he is not qualified for any task assigned to him by any team. His role on the court is really limited.

Peter was born in February 2002. He is 23 years old, 193cm tall and 84kg in weight. He is a backcourt player from Liberty University selected by the Pacers with the 54th pick in the second round of this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA last season, Pitt played a total of 35 times for his Liberty University, including 2 starts. He averaged 22.7 minutes per game. He averaged 13.7 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.9 steals and 0.1 blocks per game. He also had 0.6 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 57.8% from the field, 45.3% from the three-point range, and 77.3% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Pitt has played a total of 7 times in the first 11 games, averaging 9.3 minutes per game, averaging 1.7 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 0.1 steal, and 0.1 blocks per game. He also has 0.7 turnovers and 0.4 fouls. His field goal percentage is 21.4%, his three-point shooting percentage is 23.1%, and his free throw percentage is 100%.

Pete is a mature older rookie. He has very good scoring ability and rich offensive methods in the NCAA. He is an excellent sixth man. I believe this should also be an important factor in the Pacers selecting him with the last pick of the second round. However, the problem is that Pitt really did not show his characteristics in these games, and he seemed completely unable to adapt to the pace and intensity of such games. He is originally an older rookie. If he cannot show his maturity and immediate combat ability as soon as possible, it is normal for Pete to be abandoned by the team. Maybe in a while, Pete will be waived by the Pacers.
