Summary
Today’s Best of Features:
(00:00-16:31) – The IndyStar’s Dustin Dopirak makes his second appearance on the show this week to weigh in on why the Pacers felt like they needed to gamble a little bit to land Ivica Zubac, believes that Jarace Walker can be a key offensive scorer for the second unit if the 2026 pick falls between 5-9, evaluates whether Zubac can adapt to the fast paced tempo the Pacers want to play with, and admits there is a gray area that the Pacers could be in by tanking and resting Pascal Siakam, Obi Toppin, and the other highly competitive players that are on the team.
(16:31-27:49) – Tomer Azarley, LA Clippers & NBA writer for Clutch Points, joins the show to give the LA perspective on what he has seen from Ivica Zubac since he joined the beat eight years ago, believes that Zubac is going to be a seamless fit with the Pacers because of his personality, and why he feels like the LA Clippers felt like it was time to start rebuilding around Kawhi Leonard.
