Deep dive on the Pacers and a segmented last few years — with Caitlin Cooper

Fieldhouse Files: Scott Agness on the Indiana Pacers

On this episode of the Fieldhouse Files, I’ll tell you who will represent the franchise at the draft lottery, discuss an option Pacers fans may have to watch games next season … and then I’ll be joined by Caitlin Cooper of Indy Cornrows. This is her first visit on the podcast.

This offseason for the Pacers is about simplification, identifying who is on the roster and what playing style and schemes fits this group — then making a leap.

This is her first visit on the podcast. And we had no shortage of topics to discuss.

• Getting into writing about the Pacers, starting during the 2013-14 season.
• State of the franchise and the top priority being defense, which ranked 28th last season.
• Her reaction to swapping Domantas Sabonis for Tyrese Haliburton and why they “nailed the trade deadline.”
• What Myles Turner could look like offensively next season.
• Future roles of Duane Washington Jr., Terry Taylor and Oshae Brissett.
• Positions that needed to be upgraded for next season.
• Get to know Caitlin and her passion for the game.
• These past few seasons being very segmented — and the value of having a connected team.
• And so … much … more.
