The Pacers might’ve found the perfect big man for Hali 👀
Indiana gave up Bennedict Mathurin, Isaiah Jackson and multiple draft picks to land Ivica Zubac, showing just how much they believe he can elevate this team.
Zubac averaged 14.4 points and 11 rebounds this season while shooting over 60% from the field. His rebounding, interior scoring and screen-setting give Indiana a reliable presence at center that can complement Tyrese Haliburton’s playmaking.
In the Pacers’ fast-paced system, Zubac can thrive as a pick-and-roll partner, catching lobs, finishing around the rim and creating second-chance opportunities. He also gives the Pacers a stronger defensive anchor without sacrificing their ability to push the pace.
Indiana invested heavily in a player they believe can help get them back to the NBA Finals.
