Pacers point guard Donald Sloan has spent the offseason in his hometown Dallas, reshaping his career in more ways than one. As Sloan prepares for his summer of free agency - grinding through two-a-day workouts and day long pick-up games - he has switched representation. Sloan, who approaches his fifth NBA season, will now be represented by sports agents Byron Irvin and Dan Fegan of Relativity Sports. The deal was finalized on Friday night. "Some things weren't happening the way they should have with who I was represented by the last few years," Sloan told The Star, "so I just figured now's a good time as any to make the switch." Sloan had previously worked with agent Brian Elfus, who also represents the 2014 NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard among a host of other NBA players. Sloan logged 20.9 minutes and averaged 7.4 points, 3.6 assists and 2.7 rebounds per game (40.8 percent overall shooting and 31.3 percent from the 3-point arc) during his second season as the Pacers' third point guard. However, when the team faced mounting injuries at the beginning of the year, Sloan stepped in as the lead guard and started the first 18 games of the season. During that stretch, Sloan's numbers trended higher as he played 31.1 minutes a game and contributed 11.3 points, 5 assists and 4.2 rebounds on 37.9 percent shooting (34.3 percent from the 3). On opening night, Sloan produced his first career double-double and later stepped up with a career-best 31 points against the Washington Wizards and 29 to lead the Pacers in a big road win over the Dallas Mavericks. - See more at:http://www.indystar.com/story/insider/2015/06/20/indiana-pacers-donald-sloan-free-agent/29030225/
