Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said the 32-year-old’s basketball game is still evolving. “Great, great players always come back every year with something a little bit different,” Carlisle said. “He continues to work very diligently on all aspects of his game. A couple years ago, he really invested in 3-point shooting and becoming an even more consistent 3-point shooter. And that really made his game even more difficult to defend, because the more you have to come out on a guy [defensively], the wider the gaps are, and he’s one of the great drivers really in the history of that position. “He’s a guy that’s easy to take for granted because he is so consistent. His leadership is so [important]. But he never slows down with his work ethic. The guy built a brand-new home in Orlando that has an NBA gym. And I’ve been there. It’s awesome. And he lives in that thing in the summertime, always working on his game. So, we’re very fortunate to have him.”

Mike Curtis: Rick Carlisle on Dusty May entering his first year as an NBA coach: "The lessons go on, even when you get a quarter century into it. I could tell you that. Dusty's an amazing coach. One of the best coaches in the world. He proved that last year. He's gonna mold this team into a team that has the identity of his Michigan teams, I think. I see a lot of similarities. They're disruptive. They're long. They're athletic. They play free. He really empowers his best players. They're gonna be very good."
