Re: Remaining Two Roster Spots
How about Cole Anthony or Westbrook for the min, and James Wiseman on a non guaranteed deal or two way if he's recovered from his Achilles tear from the first game of the season last year. Indiana was really high on Wiseman during camp and pre-season saying he looked great, than he tore his Achilles game 1.
Re: Remaining Two Roster Spots
I like Westbrook because of his toughness and competitiveness, but do we want another old PG? I’m not crazy about Cole Anthony. He’s another small small PG and we already have two of that type who are both far more talented than Cole. As for Wiseman I don’t know to think. We should consult Cam.rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 02, 2025 10:37 am How about Cole Anthony or Westbrook for the min, and James Wiseman on a non guaranteed deal or two way if he's recovered from his Achilles tear from the first game of the season last year.

If it were me, wouldn’t even consider Wiseman. If I had to choose between Cole and Westbrook a the vet minimum, I’d choose Westbrook because of his size. He could actually play next to Conley or Dilly. I suspect most on this board would take Cole.

I think it’s best to allocate these final two roster spots to players who provide certainty — players you can count on to step into the rotation if needed deliver consistently at the level you expect. I guess Cole fits the bill in that sense, but Wiseman doesn’t.

I don't really care whether the next player is old I will take them if they can actually play Westbrook can play but he also a guy that does dumb stuff. I'd guess he will end up somewhere where he is at least a backup.
Cole is a better shooter so he can play better on and off the ball to some extent. I always think of him being bigger than he is not that he plays big but yeah.
When I was thinking about it this morning I was thinking why wouldn't the Pacers bring back Wiseman? They probably are looking for more center options and have a good opportunity. Idk enough about Wiseman the guy to know if I woukd want to sign him but the thought has crossed my mind. I don't want to make it sound like I think Wiseman is some cancer but I think this might not be the right spot for him since in theory we have a couple guys set to replace him.
