Pacers must pursue these 3 big men to fix one of their biggest flaws

2. Walker Kessler, Utah Jazz

With just as many years of service in the league as Duren, the Jazz's starting center also appears to be lucrative to other teams. The New Orleans Pelicans have also been linked to reports that they are interested in him along with the Pacers.

Utah is rumored to want a pair of first-round picks for Kessler. However, their trade expectations for Lauri Markkanen did not pan out this past summer. Thus, a trade involving Turner and the Pacers' first-round pick may entice the Utah Jazz's front office.

In a stacked Western Conference, Kessler's current team is realistically a year or two a way from being a potential playoff team. Should he be shipped to Indiana, he could be a difference maker for the Pacers.

Entering Monday's games, Kessler is averaging nine points and 11.5 rebounds per contest. His field goal percentage is slightly better than Duren's, but he has also only taken half as many shots.

The former Auburn University Tiger blocked five shots against the Memphis Grizzlies in his season debut. He followed that up with one more in his next game.

Kessler is on pace to have his career-best in rebounds, blocks, and scoring. He is also on pace to outdo his previous highs in assists and free-throw percentage. This is another area of concern for the Pacers and might be worth the phone call.
