Alex Golden is joined by Dustin Dopirak of the Indy Star to break down the Pacers selecting T. J. McConnell as their representative for the NBA Draft Lottery.

The guys discuss:

Why T.J. was the right choice for the spotlight
Other candidates who would have made sense in that role
What his presence could mean on lottery night

Then, the conversation shifts to the draft.

Alex and Dustin take a deep dive into the Top 4 prospects, discussing:

How each player would fit with the Pacers
What each prospect is elite at
Dustin’s ranking of the top four players
Whether someone outside that group could crack the Top 4
And which team could shake up the consensus order

A mix of lottery talk, draft analysis and insider perspective as Indiana prepares for a pivotal moment.
