The Pacers have been through basketball hell. So naturally, I wrote about all of the ways that Andrew Nembhard is navigating the (under)world of defenders ducking under: www.patreon.com/posts/143680...
After going over some of Caleb Wilson's limitations, I wrote about what he *can* do on offense -- especially as it pertains to the Pacers. Featured: The speed & separation he generates approaching south-north to break out of hot stove screens for dunks: www.patreon.com/posts/what-c...
Since being traded, I've now seen Pascal Siakam, as a 6'8 PF, deployed to play every role of Spain PnR: - C&S 3P as stack screener - Pull-up 3P as PnR ball-handler - Diving as the roll-man - attacking cross-match/spotting-up dotting corners Always adapting, always versatile
Out of necessity, a new center option has emerged for the Pacers in the last two games: Johnny Furphy On comparisons to Obi Toppin at the five, & why unlike for the players who keep trying him on defense, there's reason for the Pacers to Furph around and find out: www.patreon.com/posts/furph-...
Hey guys, myself & @samsonfolk.bsky.social reunited for a 2025-26 Pacers Exit Survey + playoff talk - who improved? - indicators for which players can scale up/down - PG/C hierarchy - are the Pacers still contenders? Do teams get "tricky" in the playoffs? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqNo...
Stack PnR is evolving in the NBA to attack guard-to-guard switches. When the stack screen defender jumps out to take the ball, the stack screener is slipping to the rim instead of out to the wing - where the on-ball defender would normally filter out to. Creates a longer, unexpected recovery.
Ben Sheppard has been on ball for the Pacers 13.2% of the time compared to just 2.9% last season, while also playing as fast as ever and more minutes than ever. For a player in overdrive at PG, on his improved driving that could make him better when the team gets better Link ⬇️
Nifty defensive wrinkle from the Pacers against the trendy slide cutting concept designed to attack nail help (corner man cuts to basket, wing slides down to fill that spot). Nail defender stays home. Once on-ball defender is beat, they peel to the cutter. Low-help picks up the ball.
Aaron Nesmith had one foot in the RA at the start of the pass prior to the closeout when he blocked a corner 3PA. He closed 16.9 ft of space. The NBA's average in that scenario is 14.7. A tremendous play, until it wasn't - symbolic of this losing streak: www.patreon.com/posts/aaron-...
In G2 against CLE, Nembhard did the exact same thing, which meant IND started the 4Q with the ball. IND also finished the 4Q with more FGA. When the series shifted back to IND, Mitchell was all out face-guarding Nembhard on the tip in order to play interference.

Took some time to watch NYL-PHX OT. Two more clips of GSV attacking 15, with VB pulling vs drop and then horns vs. 12. Temi hits the middie. Hiedeman (first, Williams) very consistent with setting her leverage to the wing and forcing middle. Good old empty PnR and horns reps.
