Prior to signing with San Antonio the 6-0, 165-pound point guard enjoyed stints with Milwaukee, Toronto and Indiana.

However, they didn’t do much and it looks like they would just be patient this off-season instead. And now, all the patience has paid off as the Pacers are looking to make some big moves...
