probably not great picks

Pascal himself was a late 1st-round pick.

Pascal himself was a late 1st-round pick.

yep Toronto has picked well

[Axe]

Those 3 picks aren’t as great as they sound

1) Pacers 2024 first which will be low 20’s
2) OKC or Clipps 2024 first (which ever is worst) so that’ll be like 27th
3) Pacers 2026 1st which will be mid 20’s

I wonder which of them will be a cumbersome big.

I wonder which of them will be a cumbersome big.

all of them if you think a 3 time DPOTY in the league today can be cumbersome

As the longtime Pacers center sat courtside at Golden 1 Center on Wednesday, there was an unmistakable irony that came with the conversation about the state of this Indiana squad. For years, there was chatter about the imperfect fit between him and former Pacers big man and current Kings star Domantas Sabonis. The February 2022 trade that sent Tyrese Haliburton to Indiana and Sabonis to Sacramento brought an end to that discussion, but it’s fair to wonder if those types of concerns might remain. The answer, as I learned from Turner and speaking to league sources close to PascalSiakam, is a resounding no. And the reason, it seems, is rooted in the fact this pairing is one that the newest Pacer has been hoping would come to fruition for years now. During all those years in Toronto, Siakam would tell people close to him how Turner was the kind of stretch five who would work wonders for his game. After his dream scenario of the Raptors somehow landing Kevin Durant, league sources say, Turner was next up on his list of players with whom he would love to play.
