IU Scott Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Pacers are not doing a very good job at tanking because they won another game tonight. They were behind by 18 and everything looking good but they came back. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Going to end up 5th or 6th....smh Got to be in the top 3 imo if you want a franchise player out of this draft....drops off pretty rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have came out last year. At least then the questions about him extending his game etc hadn’t been answered. Now not only do you see even worse shooting around the basket and still no range but you add he has a motor issue at times too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like McGowan, Branham, Diabate and Christie have been in more mock drafts. You have Ivey, Davis and Murray all being in tbe top 10. Will be interesting who's is staying and who will be leaving the big ten this year. Listening to the DD show today and Rob Blackman the radio guy for Purdue was on the show. He said this summer that Sasha, Williams and Hunter told Painter that they wouldn't be coming back next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both DD and Blackman doesn't understand kids who have eligibility left and no NBA future, would leave college early. Also this was in the summer so they could change their minds.

btownqb Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Myles Turner has shot a worse % from 3, then the previous year, for four straight years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I don't want to call Myles a disappointment, because he is a great shot blocker and can stretch the floor, but man has he not lived to what some of the early signs made it look like he could be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. To be fair, I've not watched a lot recently, I do look at some #s and speak with my dad who doesnt miss a second of them. Just seems like he isn't it. 100% a great shot blocker and human though. Not some pathetic player.. but is he worth 18m? I really don't know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have an elite skill and he fits what you'd want from a big in the modern NBA from a play style, he just isn't quite good enough at it on offense.

And is the aggression and activity level there in other aspects regularly? Or is he more engaged when things are going his way? But, Pacers arent tied to any of their vets.. I think that is a good thing, more than likely.. right? Can cut ties if things arent working/want to go in a different direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can cut ties if things arent working/want to go in a different direction? I think some combination of Myles, Brogdon, and Hield are likely to be moved in the off-season. We will build around guys like Duarte, Haliburton, Jackson, and the rookies we draft (could be looking at something like pick ~5, ~18, and ~32). Definitely room to move up on those picks with some of our assets and/or acquire more late first/early second round picks. I just wish Jalen Smith could be a part of the future, bummer the Suns didn't pick up his option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner has missed like the last 25 games so I wonder how that will effect his value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the Mavs take the Mavs first rounder and THJ or Bertans for turner. Some matching salary has to come back and those 2 salaries are a match. Powell, burke and Sterling Brown are expiring contracts in summer of 23. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilleHoosier Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Pacers help themselves by losing to the Cavs. Need the Cavs to finish no worse than 6th, otherwise they risk losing the lottery protected pick if the Cavs get knocked out of a play in game.
