Obi Toppin

The eighth overall pick in last summer's draft, Walker played limited NBA minutes as a rookie. And with the Pacers re-signing Pascal Siakam and Obi Toppin, the path to rotation minutes at power forward appears to be blocked. As a result, he will see plenty of time at the three in Las Vegas. "He's going to start at the 3, but today's game is positionless," Pacers summer league coach Jannero Pargo said. "If he's ahead of the play, we want him dunking it and playing in the paint. If he's not, spacing the floor, handling the ball, playing in pick-and-roll, making decisions off the dribble. In all facets of the game, we want to use him because he's that kind of a player." Regardless of where Walker slots into the lineup once the games count, he'll be part of a loaded Pacers rotation on the wings. While he remains a viable option in dynasty leagues, his value in redraft formats may be limited in 2024-25.
