Alex and Facci are back from a long Labor Day weekend! Today they answer 6-questions from the Mailbag podcast, and you can view those questions below. The guys had a total of 18-questions so there will be 2 more episodes dropping this week if you don't see your question on this one. NBA Woody Any concerns that the Obi Toppin & Jarace Walker pairing will end up being a similar situation to NYK where Randle was really good & it killed Obi's development? Or is there a world where the two of them are effective on the court together in big minutes. Rooster If you could add one restaurant/food option to Gainbridge what would it be? If you could add one non all star player to this years roster who would it be? How many seasons will it take for Tyrese Haliburton to earn his spot on the Mt. Rushmore of Pacers and why is it this year? Aaron M So Mathurin is working out with Klay? What are some things you hope he takes from that experience? Sammy Culbertson I think Halliburton is a lot better than Jalen Brunson. From what l've seen on this USA team, it seems that Haliburton makes the offense flow way better and pushes the fast break. I feel like Brunson dribbles too much — your opinions? CJ With the additions of Obi and Bruce how does our offense change? Reformed Reese Could Isaiah Jackson beat out Myles turner for a starting center slot? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
