Nice article Mark.
In ’68-69 there was no doubt that Slick helped the Pacers become among the elite but the real improvement over their first season was the addition of Mel Daniels.
Yes, the 2nd year started 2-7 but the more Mel became familiar with the team the better they got.
Leonard and Daniels changed the culture together.
