Pacers land Rakeem Christmas from Cavs
NBA.com has just announced a trade that will send 2015 second round draft pick, Rakeem Christmas, from Cleveland to Indiana in exchange for the Pacers' 2019 second round draft pick they received in the Roy Hibbert deal with LA.
What It Means:
Christmas played four years at Syracuse and is coming off a stellar senior year where he led the team in scoring (17.5), offensive win shares (3.0) and defensive win shares (2.3). His versatility on both sides of the court could mesh well with an Indiana squad that finished 7th in our defensive team ratings (103.2) and 23rd in our offensive team ratings (103.5). However, with Paul George in his way, it's unlikely Christmas will crack the fantasy radar next season.
