Pacers Pick Up Option On Chris Duarte
2 years agoIndiana Pacers guard Chris Duarte had his third-year option picked up by the team on Wednesday. The former first-round pick cashed in a solid rookie season. He registered 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and one steal per game while shooting 43.2% from the floor and 36.9% from deep. Duarte is going to be a big part of the Pacers rebuild. He started in 39 of the 55 games he played last season, and there isn't much competition at his position. For a player that often goes undrafted in fantasy leagues, he can give some much-needed value as a waiver-wire pickup or streaming option during the season.
