Mailbag Pt. 3 | Replacing Mathurin & The Zubac Fit Debate

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are BACK to answer more of your mailbag questions!With Bennedict Mathurin gone, the Pacers are clearly missing that spark-plug scoring punch off the bench. Do you replace that production with a veteran 6th-man type in free agency? Or, if Indiana lands a Top-4 pick, can a rookie realistically fill that void right away?We also debate:Has Quenton Jackson earned a rotation spot over Sheppard?Which realistic names around the league could replace Mathurin’s bench scoring?Will Indiana adjust its offense to better fit Ivica Zubac?How much will Zu’s interior defense impact this team in 2026/27?And are we seriously parking Zubac in the corner? If so… why trade for him?Plus, we touch on draft assets and second-round pick flexibility. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
