Player Previews: Tyrese Haliburton & Quenton Jackson - Goals, Expectations, Roles and Predictions!

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back, and today they're kicking off a brand-new eight-part Player Preview Series on Setting The Pace!

Over the next eight episodes, Alex and Facci will work their way through the Pacers roster, breaking down each player's role, expectations and goals for the upcoming season while also making their official stat predictions.

First up: Tyrese Haliburton and Quenton Jackson.

The guys start with Haliburton as he prepares to make his long-awaited return to the court. What are realistic expectations for Tyrese after missing all of last season? How quickly can he return to the player Pacers fans remember? And should his role look any different after everything Indiana learned while playing without him?

Alex and Facci discuss what they want to see from Haliburton, what a successful season would look like, where he can continue to grow and make their official predictions for his points, assists, rebounds, shooting percentages and more.

Then, the attention turns to Quenton Jackson.

After earning a standard NBA contract last season and having his deal become fully guaranteed this summer, where does Jackson fit into a crowded Pacers backcourt?

The guys discuss how big of a role Q could realistically have, where his minutes could come from, what he needs to show to earn Rick Carlisle's trust and what would constitute a successful season for the 28-year-old guard.

Plus, Alex and Facci make their official stat predictions for Jackson and discuss what they most want to see from him this season.

Roles. Expectations. Goals. Stat predictions.

The eight-part Pacers Player Preview Series officially begins with Tyrese Haliburton and Quenton Jackson!
