Mike Facci is joined by Mark Montieth to discuss Ivica Zubac making his Indiana Pacers debut, giving fans their first look at the team’s new center and how he fits into the offense and defense moving forward.

The debut, however, came during a rough stretch for Indiana as the Pacers dropped their 11th straight game. Facci and Montieth break down what they saw from Zubac in his first appearance and what expectations should realistically be for him going forward.

The conversation then zooms out as Mark shares perspective on previous struggling Pacers teams, comparing this stretch to other difficult seasons in franchise history and what ultimately helped those teams turn things around.

Alex Golden is joined by Kent Sterling for a wide-ranging episode of Setting The Pace.

The guys begin by diving into the Top 4 prospects in the upcoming NBA Draft (pre–March Madness) and debating which player would fit best with the Pacers. They also discuss whether a rookie could realistically step in and start over one of Indiana’s established players, or if the team would ease a top pick into the rotation.

Then things get a little spicy.

Kent shares his Top 5 dumbest quotes from Myles Turner, sparking a conversation about Turner’s tenure in Indiana and why, in hindsight, his departure may have been the right move for the franchise long-term.

To close the show, the guys turn their attention to Jarace Walker, discussing why this season could end up being the turning point in his development and what his growth could mean for the Pacers moving forward.
