During his breakout campaign, the 26-year-old showcased significant growth, averaging a career-high 10.3 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 57.3% from the field. Notably, Toppin also excelled from beyond the arc, hitting a career-best 40.3% of his three-point attempts despite primarily coming off the bench for an average of 21.1 minutes per game.
Originally selected as the eighth overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft by the New York Knicks, Toppin joined the Pacers last summer in a trade that saw him traded for a pair of second-round picks. Since then, Toppin has made his mark with a cumulative average of 7.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 283 games, with 43 starts, split between the Knicks and the Pacers.
