Pacers Season Preview 2022-23
Indiana’s continued dip could lead to winning the Victor Wembanyama in next June’s NBA Draft. Wembanyama, an athletic 7-foot-2, post is considered a generational talent.
For now, the Pacers have plenty of talented players looking to make the most of this season amid a challenging stretch for the franchise. Indiana has won fewer games annually since 2019 and hasn’t finished above .500 since the 2019-2020 season. Last season’s Pacers squad won only 25 games.
Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle sees potential. He likened it to his time with the Dallas Mavericks between 2008 and 2021, which involved the beginnings of the post-Dirk Nowitzki era.
“Young talent in the gym is always invigorating,” Carlisle said via The Associated Press. “The day Luka Doncic first walked into the gym in Dallas is a day I’ll never forget. I feel that way about our guys. I’ve talked to the staff about metrics that would be useful to measure progress, measure performance but I would say, in general, a lot of this is going to be the eye test.”
For Indiana, Tyrese Haliburton, 21, looks like a cornerstone for the franchise’s future. The third-year player average 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 9.6 assists, and 1.8 steals last season after joining the team via a midseason trade with the Sacramento Kings.
“I think we’ve just got a lot of guys who love basketball, who love to compete and that’s a great place to start,” Haliburton said via The Associated Press. “There are so many young guys and they have a lot to prove not only to the media or the naysayers but to themselves.”
“You’ve got to defend, you’ve got to get some stops, you’ve got to rebound the ball, get quick outlets, things like that,” Haliburton said. “Of course, we’d love to play in transition as much as possible, I would for sure. But it’s not going to happen unless we get some stops.”
Other younger players on the roster include Jalen Smith, 21, who enters his third season. He posted 13.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and one block per game last season after coming over via a midseason trade with the Phoenix Suns.
Myles Turner, 25, comes off of a solid 2021-2022 season of 12.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks per game. Buddy Hield, though not as young at 29, poses a scoring threat. Hield average 18.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and a steal per game.
How long Turner and Hield will last with the team this season remains to be seen amid trade rumors.
