@YeahYeahOkBro Thing is, are we taking a guy in the Top 4 to be an eventual starter or a 6th man?
Not really any route to Acuff being a starter, but with Wilson there 100% is.

I would imagine we’d go Caleb Wilson if we landed the 4th pick but Darius Acuff in our offense intrigues me
Kalshi Sports@KalshiSports
Odds to go Top-5 in the 2026 NBA Draft, via Kalshi: 97% — AJ Dybantsa 97% — Cam Boozer 91% — Darryn Peterson 85% — Caleb Wilson 70% — Darius Acuff Jr. 50% — Kingston Flemings 9% — Mikel Brown Jr. Is the top-5 already locked?
English
@PacersWoody Look, I think Peterson is fantastic, but Nembhard is my guy and Peterson likely takes his starting spot. I won't have it!
I also fucking love Boozer, just seems 100% a Carlisle guy.
English
I had no idea so many people were off Peterson, I’d be THRILLED to have him in Indy
AKRiley@AKRileyy5
Yeah bruh that's the last time I tweet about Darryn Peterson until the draft Y'all got it
English
@roosterbra812 I'd be surprised if Zubac + Nembhard weren't extended, but who knows with anyone else.
English
@CFalcon31 I know. These are all very premature. My guess is though that many of our players will be extended by then.
English
If Micah Potter is the player the Pacers lose I will rejoice. I love Micah. But this is best case. Then we keep Obi TJ Jarace Furphy Shep and Huff
Unfortunately the draft isn’t in the ext year so he might not even be a Pacer by then.

CBS Sports ran a Mock Expansion Draft for the Seattle Supersonics that has the likes of Zion Williamson, Klay Thompson and Lu Dort joining the new franchise 🏀 Valid or nah?
English
If the Pacers get the first pick and Cameron Boozer is their guy, trading down and getting more draft capital is the way to go.

“When it comes to Boozer, in fact, there is a sentiment among some rival teams that the Duke star would be Indiana’s preferred selection even if the Pacers were to come away with the No. 1 overall pick because of his potential fit alongside Pascal Siakam and newly acquired Ivica Zubac.” (via .@JakeLFischer)
English
@DarkHaliburton Nah, he just needs a smaller defined role. He is getting opportunity to try shit and see what he is capable of. Should be an efficient double digit scorer, who can make some slick passes for us going forward. 5th starter or bench player.
English
@hyattwatcher @DumboffaPerc30 Nah! The injuries crushed us to start the year. We've had like 25 people on the roster and starting 2-way guys due to how unhealthy we were.
We started the season healthy, I'd be expecting 40+ wins.
English
@DumboffaPerc30 They could have 35+ wins rn and be in the playin if they actually tried to win. Like theres no reason for their offense not to still be top 5
English
Who’s that one Clipper you randomly had love for?
I’ll start:
English
@APH00PS @213Clipset The fans were. His stalwarts felt he could be the next big thing and they were incredibly vocal. Plenty of us felt Mathurin being dealt was the only option, he wasn't a fit and wasn't going to start.
He has more opportunities in LA, but the weaknesses are now more glaring.
English
@213Clipset The more I watch Mathurin the more I’m convinced Pacers fans never watched a lick of Clippers basketball. Cause why is THAT the guy you said was untouchable in talks for Zubac?
English
The entire franchise’s future hinges on letting him walk in FA

@djf_primal Look at him as a 6th man and you will see the projection. Mathurin is talented as hell, but he is in that JR Smith type of mold.
English
Mathurin may very well end up being back on this team in offseason. Fine. But he’s gotta be better IQ wise. His court IQ is HORRIBLE. Idc what kind of flashy or foul baiting highlights he got. When u don’t pass to wide open teammates cause u trying to Superman the possession…ur not needed. So if he stays. Cool. But JVG needs to get his IQ up.
English
I can’t be the only one who sees it
B/R Hoops@brhoops
Darius Acuff in the SEC title game: 30 PTS | 5-8 3PT | 11 AST | 37 MINS best player in the country?
English
@HeIIyBurton Wilson, all day, every day, Wilson. The reason we secured Top 4 odds.
In saying that, if we took Acuff, I wouldn't be mad. I wouldn't understand it, but dude looks legit.
English
@213Clipset Starting to realize why the ceiling is limited with him as a 6th man.
English
@roosterbra812 I look at this like the 2008 draft. Peterson is kind of Rose.
Boozer is K-Love.
Dybansta is Bealsey.
Wilson reminds me of Westbrook. Obviously not playstyle, but the relentless motor and drive to improve.
English
I knew I wasn’t crazy. I’m still not convinced he won’t be the best player in this draft when the dust settles.

Several NBA executives around the league have argued that Caleb Wilson could go ahead of Cam Boozer in the 2026 NBA Draft, per @WindhorstESPN and @TimBontemps. “Wilson averaged 19.8 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.4 blocks while shooting 57.8% from the field in 24 games, showcasing why many around the league argue he could go ahead of Boozer as the third player off the board. "He's so raw, and there's a ton of upside there," the first East executive said. "I can easily see him becoming a top-three player in this draft. I think Cam already has his NBA body, but Caleb has a lot of room to grow.” (via espn.com/nba/story/_/id…)
English
@AKRileyy5 I mean, maybe the league is voiding Kawhi's contract and he is coming to Indiana on the MLE?
English
@DarkHaliburton Whilst I love this rookie class, ain't no way they walk in and take Nesmith's starting job. We know what this team looks like with him and his floor spacing is more important with Zu in the middle now.
English
This fanbase doesn't deserve Aaron Nesmith
SleeperPacers@SleeperPacers
What are your way too early predictions for the Pacers for next season?
English
@KamitronPTW He will be a useful 2-way most likely, but at 27 years-old, not a huge window for growth.
English
What's up with Slawson? Is he someone we can work with? #YesCers
English
@213Clipset He is a situational big man. Some days will make sense playing him, other days, not so much.
