Slawson Shines Again, Smith Shows Progress & Hali Joins Mind the Game
About this episode
The episode discusses Jalen Slawson's impressive performance in Summer League and the progress of Braden Smith, along with Tyrese Haliburton's appearance on Mind the Game.
Despite a rather non-competitive game from the Pacers on Wednesday afternoon, Jalen Slawson just keeps shining in Summer League. Following Indiana’s fourth Summer League game, we break down why Slawson has evolved from a two-way candidate into someone making a legitimate case for one of the Pacers’ 15 roster spots. Is he simply playing too well to ignore and will another team make a run at him? We also discuss Braden Smith’s latest performance, the progress we’ve seen through four games, and what still needs to improve as he adjusts to the NBA game. Plus, Quenton Jackson earns a fully guaranteed contract, and Tyrese Haliburton joins LeBron James on Mind the Game, where the speculation around LeBron’s next destination continues without any real answers. We explain why Indiana shouldn’t be waiting around for a “Decision 2.0” and why the Pacers are better off focusing on the team they’ve built.
