October Mailbag Pt. 2: Who makes the biggest jump this year? + Do you think we will be better defensively this season with Mathurin back?

Alex and Facci return to answer more questions from the October Mailbag. Thanks to our awesome fans for sending in the questions! 1). Garret from Buffalo, NY We seemed to be better defensively after Benn was injured last season. Do you think we will be better defensively this season with Mathurin back? Do you think Walker is a regular in the starting five at any point this season? 2). Michael Lucas (back again!) Do you think Jarace Walker makes a substantial leap this year, or is he still buried on the depth chart? Who do you think will be the Pacers MIP? I think Nembhard will fly under the radar, with the focus on Rese and Siakam, and put up really good numbers. 3). Michelle WZ Who do you think is the most effective player for P? Aside from Hali being the main playmaker, who is going to pair w Siakam and gain the most when he's on the floor 4). Josh @ XCERT3K Please keep up those hot takes! I know you guys think the slogans are always corny. What would you guys make it if given the opportunity? Who on the team do you think will be the leader in PPG in the starting 5 and off the bench come new year’s day? Thanks! 5). Luke Harris Do y’all think a consolidation trade is ultimately in the teams future? Heard this take a lot, and while it makes sense on paper with our depth, I don’t think I can watch any of these guys go thrive on another team 6). D.J. Davis Who makes the biggest jump this year? Mathurin, Walker or someone else? Podcast Interview with Bennedict Mathurin: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Jd3dxcV0HAlq1klZ5dhnP Learn more about your ad choices.
