What does a “successful” season look like? & Would you rather the roster look more similar or different by the end of the season? (August Mailbag Pt. 2)

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back for Part 2 of the August Mailbag!

1). Josh

Does Andrew want to run his own team after getting to do so this year?

2). Professor X

Will Nembhard produce Hali esque numbers with Hali’s mentorship?

3). Keenan

The Pacers have not had a good track record of signing their draft picks to second contracts. Which player currently on his rookie deal (Mathurin, Walker, Sheppard, Furphy, or Jones) do you see having a long term role in the Pacers’ organization beyond the next couple of seasons?

4). Life Enthusiast (3 questions)

A. Would you rather see one of the fringe rotational players (think Furph/Wiseman) hit amid this year of developmental freedom or the Pacers consolidate and allow for a more likely contender (ex. Benn) to thrive with consistent minutes?

B. What does a “successful” season look like to you?

C. Would you rather the roster look more similar or different to its current state by the end of the season?

5). SP/DR KekLord

With no Haliburton , do you think that players on our team like Nesmith will improve on creating their own shots ?

6). Jamison Mc

Which do you think could be replicated again the most, Aaron Nesmiths heroic 4th quarter against the Knicks game 1 or Tyrese Halliburton’s inhuman ability to make 4 game winners in a playoff run?
