## Resource

Alex Golden and Mike Facci wrap up their four-part offseason series by bringing everything together and Ranking the Pacers Roster for the Future. After spending the last three episodes evaluating the centers, guards and forwards individually, the guys now put the entire roster into one ranking to determine which players are the most important pieces of Indiana's future. The discussion factors in: Age and development curve Contract value Current production Long-term upside Fit alongside Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam and the rest of the core Alex and Facci debate where each player belongs and explain why some players project as foundational building blocks while others may have a less certain future with the franchise. It's a fun exercise that serves as the grand finale to a series that has examined every player on the roster from every angle. Who comes in at No. 1? Who rises higher than expected? And which players have the most to prove moving forward? The final installment of the "Rankings for the Future" series is here. 🏀💛💙
