The Indiana Pacers have officially released their depth chart for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season, providing a comprehensive look at their roster and projected starting lineup. Despite finishing the previous season with a disappointing 25-57 record, the Pacers are hoping to make a strong push towards playoff contention this year.
Key Players
The Pacers' starting lineup is expected to feature a mix of young talent and experienced veterans. Tyrese Haliburton, acquired in a trade with the Sacramento Kings last season, is projected to start at point guard. Joining him in the backcourt is shooting guard Buddy Hield, a sharpshooter who was brought in via a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Chris Duarte, a rising star in the Pacers' young core, is slated to start at small forward. Jalen Smith, acquired from the Phoenix Suns, is projected to start at power forward. The center position is likely to be filled by Myles Turner, a defensive stalwart who has been with the Pacers since 2015.
Bench Depth
Behind their starting five, the Pacers have a solid bench with a mix of promising youngsters and seasoned veterans. Andrew Nembhard, a promising young guard, is expected to provide backup minutes at point guard. Former All-Star Paul George, now in his second season with the Pacers, is expected to serve as the primary backup at shooting guard and small forward.
Isaiah Jackson, a highly touted prospect acquired from the Lakers, is expected to see significant minutes as the backup center behind Turner. Oshae Brissett, a versatile forward who has shown flashes of potential, will likely provide depth at several positions off the bench.
