00:00Yeah, so this is a new one for Dave Frege, and shoutout to my god Ryan Rucco making sure that he said, my guys, with emphasis.
00:08Wide open Brooks, Dickinson with a good pass, got the rebound and puts it in, Hunter Dickinson who spent, and they're hoping Jeremiah Fears can help their cause.
00:17Nice drive and finish by Ray J. Dennis. Pelicans traded C.J. McCollum, brought in Jordan Poole to help.
00:23There's three games here in Vegas, but an injury shorted his summer league season.
00:28Yeah, they just, according to Shamshirania, and they just, according to Shamshirania, announced today that it's going to be a 12-week recovery for Queen from a wrist ligament tear.
00:38Effortless. Saw his dad, of course, the Hall of Famer, Ximbehan, here early in the week.
00:46He's also now a colleague at ESPN.
00:49And your broadcast partner, it's all you lose ball, and Dennis out of there with it for Indiana.
00:54Nice pass ahead to Freeman, that stride, able to catch and finish.
00:57Nice find from Dennis. He's done a good job really manning the point here for the Pacers in some of the league.
01:01Boeheim took it all the way, missed it, but the follow-dump by Freeman.
01:05It was great at Oklahoma. I'm not sure how everyone passed on it.
01:10And for a good part of the season, he played like an all-star.
01:13That's what's it about. In a win.
01:17Braves connects on the two-pointer.
01:19Franchise player, Tyrese Halliburton for the Pacers, as you mentioned, and also Jason Tatum for the Boston Celtics.
01:25With those guys being out, and the Celtics making trades.
01:28Pelicans looking for their first win.
01:30Indiana has split its four games.
01:33Wheeler leaning in, banks at home.
01:34Phillip Wheeler played five games.
01:36You know, Dave, one of the things that A.J. mentioned was that he was just playing against Jeremiah Fierce.
01:42Jeremiah Fierce reclassed up.
01:44And of course, now the seventh pick in the draft playing here in some of the A.J. has attended college this year.
01:49Only because he's too young to declare for the NBA draft.
01:51Canona's nice drive and finish.
01:58Lester Quinonez is...
01:59Canona's nice drive and finish.
02:03Lester Quinonez is like 54 games in the NBA after going undrafted in 2022.
02:08Count the basket.
02:11Shot clock at seven.
02:13Alexander puts it on the floor, challenges Wheeler and banks it in.
02:16I'm not even going to consider that he was injured at the beginning of the playoffs.
02:20It may have even been a play-in game during that season.
02:24So he definitely became my guy during summer league.
02:26I want to make sure that was the time when it happened.
02:28It's not just about who is Corey's guy, it's the timing.
02:30It's the genesis of becoming Corey's guy.
02:32See, you get it.
02:35Six-point lead for Indiana.
02:36Minute gone by here in the second quarter.
02:38Now Fierce couldn't get that one to fall.
02:42Ashworth wide open.
02:43Brains a three.
02:45Similar to T.J. McConnell who comes off the bench for the Pacers.
02:48Of course, the Pacers, one of the many teams now.
02:50They've played 94 feet on every possession.
02:53Hunter Dickinson with the basket and a foul.
02:54He'll go to the line to try college basketball the last handful of years.
02:57Is there a role for him at this level?
02:59I think so.
03:00And the reason I believe so is because the thing that hampers Hunter at the next level
03:03is lateral quickness of being able to...
03:05Hunter Dickinson also made a significant amount of money in NIL over the last three seasons.
03:09So, when it's all said and done, it may have been the right move.
03:13And what's interesting about Dickinson as Fierce gets the tip in,
03:16is if Hunter Dickinson doesn't make it in the NBA and is playing in the G League...
03:19Fierce puts it on the floor again.
03:22Dribbles behind the back.
03:23One foot, misses the foul line.
03:25Jay Dickinson, going to stick back to be a part of this draft.
03:30Seventh overall selection.
03:33Three-pointer by Tominaga.
03:36Indiana's taken 17 threes already.
03:38Made five.
03:3917 of their 30.
03:40Attempts.
03:41Count the basket and one.
03:43An accidental hoop as Freeman got hacked by Shoemate and the ball went in the basket.
03:47Really two terrific seasons.
03:49Conference finals last year.
03:50NBA finals this year.
03:52Are they good enough without Halliburton and Turner to be a major factor?
03:55I'm not sure they will be in Eastern Conference finals.
03:59My welcome to the NBA moment.
04:02Courtesy, Joe Dumars.
04:06Briggs puts it on the floor and is able to get that one to fall over the outstretch.
04:10Arm of Boeheim and it's a pacer timeout.
04:12But in today's game, you can play with multiple ball handles on the floor.
04:15You just want to see if you can find a way to get him into your rotation.
04:17Best pass again by Dennis.
04:19This time to Freeman for the dunk.
04:20A turnover.
04:21Ashworth had it blocked at the buzzer.
04:25Buckets open the third.
04:26Dennis, another good luck.
04:27And another basket inside by Freeman.
04:29Into the floor.
04:30It just puts more responsibility on each and every one of those guys.
04:32We know TJ McConnell is going to continue to do what he does coming off the bench.
04:36The chance to sit with Pelican Tech coach Willie Green as well as Troy Weaver and Joe Dupar is watching last earlier this week.
04:46Getting a great chance to talk strategy with Willie.
04:50And I'm going to figure out if that was the case indeed.
04:52Go back and check his credit card receipts in 2019.
04:54We'll say that there most likely is no paper trail of me actually buying a ticket.
04:58Meanwhile, Robert Baker, who had 10 points in the second quarter, makes a great defensive play.
05:02And then on the other end, drains his third three-pointer.
05:06Obeyai made his first three-pointer.
05:08He's missed six in a row since.
05:10As Brooks gets the basket in transition.
05:12And Jeff Van Gundy with the great job that they did with that defensive culture with the Clippers.
05:17How does he fit in there?
05:18I think Brad gives an effort defensively.
05:20But I don't think it's an easy win on the defensive side either.
05:22Dropping and slamming as Robert Baker, who has been the star of this game.
05:28We've seen that throughout this game.
05:30Fearless with the drop.
05:31Yeah, 12 first half points for Wheeler.
05:33Chase Hunter with the other 29 teams to try to find the right training camp situation for you.
05:38Tominaga with four seconds left in the corner.
05:40Launches the three.
05:41Missed it.
05:41There's Baker.
05:42That's his home.
05:44How much is awareness, basketball IQ, understanding the game?
05:49Where is that in terms of your evaluation tool?
05:51I can't play this person because I can't trust him with the basketball.
05:55And that's huge because, again, there are guys making $60 million.
05:59Tominaga hit the deck after he missed the shots of numbers for New Orleans.
06:03Alexander with the lob and the basket by Anderson plus a foul.
06:07And again, doing it for an organization that doesn't worry about your drafts.
06:14Basket by Baker and a foul.
06:15But the Pacers absolutely want to, as a big part of their team going forward.
06:19Just signed a $44 million deal.
06:21So he is absolutely a part of their team moving forward.
06:23Three-pointer from James.
06:26Go ahead.
06:27Passing by the Cowboys.
06:28Fears first.
06:29Anderson next in the slam by Baker.
06:31Foul on the other end.
06:32James sliding to the floor.
06:34He's currently a player at Michigan State.
06:36James driving.
06:37Thought he was fouled.
06:38Fears just stepped away from him.
06:39And then you see the speed of Fears up the floor.
06:41Got the rebound of the put-bender.
06:43Solid progression after his first year.
06:45The second summer league.
06:46I mean, you consider what he was able to do two nights ago.
06:49Last night.
06:49Almost not sure which one it was.
06:51All the nights start to come together.
06:52Cory, Dave, I would also say that Bronny just seems more at ease and more comfortable in general.
07:00You know, he'll have to make plays and run the team.
07:02And we've seen certainly some of that.
07:04But he understands the way he's going to get minutes in the NBA is being a menace on defense.
07:08And I made the statement last year.
07:09Reason being, because half the population doesn't think that he belongs in the NBA.
07:13And what I love most is the fact that he's showing that he can be a productive NBA for several years.
07:19The Lakers add DeAndre Aiden.
07:20Obviously, Luka Doncic will have his first full season in Los Angeles.
07:24Should the Lakers, should we consider the Lakers a contender as Bayhine hits a three?
07:27I do believe that they are a contender because you have two of the best.
