Expansion Draft Decisions: Top 8 to Protect + Pacers’ Offseason Needs (Crossover w/ The Pacers Post Up – Pt. 2)
About this episode
It’s Part 2 of our crossover with The Pacers Post Up — and this one is all about tough decisions.
Alex Golden is joined Brad and Ryan Knight to break down a hypothetical expansion draft scenario: if Indiana can only protect 8 players, who makes the cut?
We debate:
- The untouchables
- The tough calls
- The young upside swings
- And which veterans might be left exposed
Then we zoom out.
Looking ahead to next season, what does this Pacers roster still need? Another creator? More size? Defensive versatility? A microwave scorer? We connect the expansion draft conversation to the bigger picture of roster construction and long-term sustainability.
