INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Kevin Pritchard made his offseason desire clear: The Indiana Pacers president of basketball operations wanted someone to emerge as a locker room leader and he wasn't sure whether that player was on the roster at the end of last season.

By the time training camp opened, Pritchard thought he had found an answer in Malcolm Brogdon.

"Over the summer, I think one started to emerge," he said. "We had a few players get together a couple of times this summer and one player kind of organized that. That was Malcolm. We don't have that, we call it an alpha guy, out there, whose pounding the table on anything but I think we'll have a bunch of guys step up and it will be more team leadership, community leadership."
