Description
Alex and Facci are here to discuss a ton of topics! Indiana's General Manager, Chad Buchanan, joined Kevin and Query in the morning to recap the Pacers draft night. In there, he discusses the Pacers aggressiveness to trade back up to select a falling Cam Whitmore, but to no avail. He also addressed the team passing on Trayce Jackson-Davis in the 2nd round. The guys discuss these topics, look at who Indiana selected at 47 (King) and 55 (Wong) and what they can bring to the table.
In addition to that, Indiana signed Oscar Tshiebwe to a 2-way deal, and being a former West Virginia Mountaineer (before transferring to Kentucky), Facci had rave things to say about the former National Player of the Year. The guys discuss this and also look a little closer at Ben Sheppard's game. Alex and Facci wonder if the team made a mistake passing on Leonard Miller for Ben Sheppard, but also find themselves intrigued with Sheppard's offensive upside. Lastly, the guys rave about Jarace Walker, his fit with this roster and whether or not he will start right away.
