Alex Golden and Mike Facci wrap up their position-by-position trade target series by focusing on one of Indiana’s biggest needs: backup point guard. The guys break down three guards the Pacers could realistically target via trade — players who can bring stability, playmaking and scoring punch to the second unit. They also discuss: What each guard would bring to the roster What kind of trade package it would take to acquire them How each player fits alongside Tyrese Haliburton Then, the conversation shifts to the draft. Alex and Facci take a look at second-round prospects who could be worth targeting to add depth at the point guard position — whether through Indiana’s picks or by trading into the round
