Wanting to get an idea as to what the new Indiana Pacers rotation will look like? This is our best shot at putting it together.
The starters
Tyrese Haliburton – this is as close to a no-brainer as you can get on a team. The All-Star and franchise cornerstone will be starting at the point and running the show.
Buddy Hield – this may be the contentious choice, but it’s likely that Rick will not start Mathurin his second year in the league. Buddy’s hot shooting is quite the asset to the starting lineup and his chemistry with Haliburton is undeniable.
Bruce Brown Jr. – the free agent that the Pacers spent big on in free agency, Brown will immediately make the defense better and be a versatile player across nearly all five positions. He’s a toolbox guy, meaning he has a bunch of skills that will benefit the team in underrated ways, even if he’s not scoring.
Obi Toppin – My guess is that Toppin will start the year as the starting four given his NBA experience, although expect Jarace Walker to compete for minutes. Toppin is a high-flying trade piece the Pacers picked up that will pair perfectly with Haliburton.
Myles Turner – Old faithful and a dominant defensive force. No more explanation needed.
