Tony EastHOST
This is not a guy who should be just ripping pull-up threes.
Tony EastHOST
But his jumper improving... is if if he's going to start making questions appear about his age effectiveness intersection guess what one way to offset that is make a bunch of threes Doug McDermott did a great job with that and extended his career for years and years and years by doing that and Siakam is eons better than Doug McDermott I'll be fascinated to see if he can find a different maybe not drastically different but a slightly different volume accuracy intersection this season that makes him feel more effective and As a jump shooter, a lot of shooting stuff with Siakam because his accuracy is not a question, but it's just one of the only things that I think, hey, this could look a little different this year.
Tony EastHOST
What's that going to mean for the Pacers? That brings us to Obi Toppin, and we'll preview his season coming up next year on Locked on Pacers.
Tony EastHOST
But first, everybody, welcome to your most rewarding NFL season ever, only on FanDuel.
Mike FacciHOST
So there is a lot of things that he does well.
Mike FacciHOST
It does not mean that he's this all defensive type of player that But we definitely remember the days of, like, Buddy Heald and plenty of other, Doug McDermott, I mean, plenty of other guys that we had at these positions that were just, like, turnstiles.
Mike FacciHOST
Like, they weren't stopping anybody.
Mike FacciHOST
So Kelly Oubre is definitely a step up defensively for this team.
Allen StilesHOST
So maybe it's better to go back two seasons, but there's really only one guy that was just on the team and just straight up didn't really play.
Allen StilesHOST
And that was Doug McDermott.
Allen StilesHOST
So there's really only one last season.
Allen StilesHOST
Again, it was a weird one.
Allen StilesHOST
If you go back two seasons ago, that's when you had like a Jay Crowder, Like you had Jay Crowder, you had like three, you had a couple of those guys.
Allen StilesHOST
I know Jordan McLaughlin got traded, but you had Jay Crowder and you had Doug McDermott on the bench.
Allen StilesHOST
So if one of those spots, if you go back to that, one of those spots is Alfred Payton, then you'd have some people complaining saying that could be for a younger guy or whatever it is.
Allen StilesHOST
But yeah, they have, they didn't really do it last season because they just moved so many guys around and you could throw Whitey Alex Lennon there too.
Ben BeeckenHOST
But by and large, almost every -- The, the majority of Trey Lyles at the five included Keegan Murray at the four, and then some combination of, of diminutive backcourt of De'Aaron Fox, Malik Monk, uh, DeMar DeRozan.
Ben BeeckenHOST
There was some Doug McDermott in there.
Ben BeeckenHOST
He's a little bigger.
Ben BeeckenHOST
Uh, but there was also some, um, uh, who's the other? Uh, Keon Ellis in there.
James HamHOST
Um, but I also say this, if you can play and you can get on the court, um, that it, it doesn't really matter.
James HamHOST
You need to get out, you know, because you can have Doug McDermott come in and shoot threes at the end of a game and bring some excitement and make it so you lose by eight points instead of 22, but does that really help your team if you have a player who isn't able to compete for, for minutes on the court? Um, so again, having defensive players who don't get off the bench, they don't help you.
James HamHOST
Having three-point shooters who don't get off the bench, they don't help you.
James HamHOST
I don't know, again, if either of these guys, if, uh, again, Ben Simmons or Elfrid Payton are, are going to be long-term fits in Sacramento or guys that even play a ton of minutes in this season.
8 MINS LATER
James HamHOST
So other times you c- you could think, "Oh, there is no way that's gonna work out," and, uh, that's what happened a couple years ago with Matthew Dellavedova.
James HamHOST
If you would've told me that he was gonna make the '22-'23 Sacramento Kings, the original Beam Team, um, roster, and then he was gonna play 32 games that season, I would've told you you were absolutely crazy and that you were wrong.
James HamHOST
I also didn't expect Doug McDermott to stick around his first season in Sacramento when we got to the January 10th cutdown deadline, because he was on a non-guaran- uh, guaranteed deal, and he did stick around.
James HamHOST
And then he got a guaranteed contract the next year, because he's good people, and he's a good teammate, and he has a skill of shooting the basketball, and people like him.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
Yeah.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
Wasn't it Taj and McDermott? That sounds right.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
Let's Google it.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
I know this is the most exciting thing you can do in podcasting is...
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
So I just loved everything about Taj Gibson.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
Very happy to have him back.
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
And yeah, you know, the Bulls traded Taj and Doug McDermott for campaign...
Ricky O'DonnellHOST
Anthony Morrow and Joffrey Laverne.
Sam ShapiroHOST
Seth Curry is also still available.
Sam ShapiroHOST
Doug McDermott is still an option.
Sam ShapiroHOST
You can never have too much shooting, right? Nick Batum and Drew Eubanks are also two guys that are also free agents still, at least from what I'm seeing.
Sam ShapiroHOST
Although I think now with Richards, there isn't as much of a need for Eubanks.
Camille DavisHOST
I was like, who was his guard?
Nick AngstadtHOST
This was the, this was the, uh, Westbrook, Roberson, Oladipo, Steven Adams, Taj Gibson, Jeremy Grant, Alex Abrines, Doug McDermott.
Camille DavisHOST
You saying some names right there.
Nick AngstadtHOST
Enes, one, Enes Was, Was Kanter.
Jay KingHOST
Villanova's finest.
Sam PackardHOST

Jay KingHOST
Dougie Bu- Doug McBuckets.
Sam PackardHOST
