The Tank Is Complete: Pacers Secure Top Lottery Odds

The tank is complete.

The Indiana Pacers have lost enough games to secure the best odds for the No. 1 overall pick, and to retain their top-4 pick.

On this solo episode of Setting The Pace, Alex Golden breaks down what this means for the franchise moving forward — and puts this season into historical perspective.

Alex discusses:

• Why this will go down as the worst record in Pacers franchise history, regardless of Sunday’s result
• How the 1982-83 season led to the No. 2 overall pick, and how that selection ultimately played out for Indiana
• And what recent draft history tells us about picks outside the Top 4, particularly in the 5–9 range

With the lottery now in focus, the conversation shifts to what matters most: landing in that Top 4.

A painful season… but potentially a franchise-altering outcome.
