The Indiana Pacers are gearing up for a strong playoff push next season, and a big part of that means sizing up their roster around Star's Tyrese. Haliburden and Pascal Ciacum, a recent breakdown ranks players by how well they meshed with a duo, starting with Guard Andrew Nempard at number 1. He's a steady, secondary ball handler and top defender who shines in big playoff moments. Guard's versatility pairs perfectly with Ciacum's two-way play, and Coach Rick Carlyleau has called them the team's best duo during injuries. Right behind him is Aaron Nezmeth, a sharp movement shooter who creates space and locks down wings. His standout games against New York and Cleveland highlight his playoff fit. Obi-Toppen rounds out the top three with his ability to switch positions, stretch the floor, and thrive in transition. He's ideal for the Pacers' fast pace. Games and analysts see these guys building the core identity for contention.
