Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back for another episode of Setting The Pace, and with the Indiana Pacers preparing for their third preseason game, the guys have five things they'll be watching closely!
With two preseason games in the books, we've gotten an early look at this new-look Pacers roster. But there are still plenty of questions to answer before the regular season begins.
Alex and Facci spend 40 minutes diving into five areas they want to see Indiana address in its next preseason matchup.
Who will actually suit up? With injuries and preseason availability already becoming talking points, the guys discuss which players they're hoping to see take the floor.
What's happening with the backup center rotation? Indiana has several options in the frontcourt, but how Rick Carlisle distributes those minutes remains one of the more interesting storylines.
Can Jarace Walker get more opportunities as a playmaker? The guys discuss why they want to see Jarace with the basketball in his hands and what that could reveal about his evolving role.
Will Ben Sheppard get a chance to make his case? With rotation spots up for grabs, the guys look at Sheppard's opportunities and what they want to see from him.
And finally, can the Pacers defend without fouling? Alex and Facci examine an area that needs improvement and why it will be important once the games start counting.
Five things to watch, several players with something to prove and plenty of questions still surrounding Indiana's rotation.
Get ready for Pacers preseason game No. 3 with Alex and Facci on today's Setting The Pace!
