ORLANDO -- The Indiana Pacers have now lost both of their Orlando Summer League games. The head coach of the Pacers' Summer League team, Dan Burke, is looking to change the team's strategy in order to win their next game. Indiana's next game is on July 8th (Wednesday), when they take on the Pistons at 3:00 PM Eastern.

The biggest problems of the Pacers first two Summer League games were not difficult to spot. Their poor defensive rotations and lack of awareness have been really evident in these first two games. Indiana has arguably been the worst defensive team in the Summer League so far, and it has really reflected poorly on Dan Burke and the Pacers' defense-first philosophy.

There was one play in particular:

Solomon Hill was in weak side help-defense when the ball was on the opposite side elbow, he stared at the ball and let his man cut right past him, it resulted in a layup on the strong side.

Those plays would be acceptable for a player that they already know isn't going to make the roster, but this is coming from a player that logged in the most minutes on the Pacers last season. As an overall team, the Pacers have been completely unaware on the defensive side of the ball, out-matched in individual defensive assignments, they have made poor defensive rotations, but at least the effort is there.

Here is what Dan Burke told the media regarding their strategic changes for next game:

"I liked the effort," said Dan Burke. "But we had a lot of lack of discipline on defense. And we need to do a better job playing through Myles Turner more."

The expectations may be lower for the Summer League, but it is completely unacceptable to defend at the level that the Pacers have. This is largely why it is almost a guarantee that a lot of the players on the Pacers' Summer League roster won't make the team. It is important to be completely engaged on defense, make good rotations, and simply do your individual assignments well.

The team's offense has been far better than their defense, but there are still problems with it. In the team's second game, Myles Turner got around 3-4 possessions where he could legitimately have space and time to create for himself with the ball in his hands. That is unacceptable, as he needs to be the focus of the team's offense. Instead of giving Turner the ball, they have been settling for giving the ball to players that can't be effective with it.

At this point, the team should know who they will consider to make the team, so focusing on the players that are going to be on the roster should be a priority. In all honesty, there will probably be nobody on this Summer League team besides the drafted and pre-existing Pacers that will make the roster. So giving the offensive focus to Myles Turner and Joseph Young should be the priority.

Focusing on Myles Turner would be great to evaluate how he handles different situations. Turner has already shown that he can create good shots for himself, rebound on the offensive glass, set good screens, be great in the pick-and-roll/pop, but he hasn't shown that he can setup his teammates, or pass out of double team situations effectively. Turner has yet to record a single assist in the Summer League.

Myles Turner has shown that he can score very well in all distances of the post. If the Pacers give him the ball enough he will force the defense to start setting extra help to double team him. That's what the Pacers should want, they would then be able to see how he reacts to pressure situations in the post, how he handles double teams, and how he sees the floor in different situations.

After Myles Turner shows how he handles double teams in the post, he should be used in the pick and roll/pop with Joseph Young. Indiana already knows how Myles Turner is so effective in the pick and roll/pop, but Indiana has yet to see how Joseph Young handles being the ball handler in pick and roll situations. It would be beneficial for both players to run this.

Joseph Young should get the opportunity to isolate from the perimeter and showcase his individual offensive ability. He didn't get many chances to do this with a spaced floor, his drives were cut off by teammates clogging the paint. Using Myles Turner at center and then using 3-point shooters at the other positions to space the floor would utilize Joseph Young's isolation ability.

Once the defense starts worrying about Joseph Young from the perimeter, he will be able to show how he can setup his teammates. Help defense will start to over commit and try to seal him off, that will result in open teammates to set up with a good pass. There are concerns out there about Young's facilitation skills, so letting him prove himself in that area would be best.

Those are just a few examples, but Joseph Young and Myles Turner should be the focus of the team in the remaining games. The team could even focus on Shayne Whittington and Solomon Hill if they wanted, but that wouldn't matter as much since they already know what those players are capable of. However, it could be good for Hill and Whittington to show their improvement from this off-season.

Regardless, the Pacers need to change their strategy if they want to be successful so expect the Pacers' newly acquired draft picks to get more touches on offense. Having expectations for improved defensive rotations and engagement would be a disappointment, remember, there's a reason why a lot of these players haven't already made an NBA roster. But at the very least, expect changes in the offensive focus.
