Indiana Pacers coach Rick Carlisle — and, it seems, almost the full roster — went to Las Vegas to watch their Summer League squad compete.
Carlisle joined the ESPN broadcast during their opener to discuss the coming season, and he has been struck with the performance of Yuki Kawamura, a 25-year-old 5-foot-7 guard from ******* an who has 40 games of NBA experience over two seasons.
"He's an easy guy to like," Carlisle said. "He just kind of explodes into the game. When the coach points to him on the bench, he just flies up to the scorer's table, and then stuff just happens.
"He really knows how to play. He's seeing things before they happen. He has a great sense for how to draw contact and put the defense in jail. He goes hard."
Kawamura has averaged 10 points and 3.5 ******* ists in two Summer League games. The Pacers have games scheduled for Monday and Wednesday.
