The Indiana Pacers season ended just over six weeks ago. The team finished 35-47, a 10-win improvement over the 2021-22 campaign, and they just recently earned the seventh overall pick in the NBA Draft via the lottery.

The team's win growth came for a variety of reasons, and internal growth played a big part in that. Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner had career years, and other role players found their footing or took key steps forward. That, combined with five draft picks in the 2023 draft, has Indiana trending in a positive direction.

To break down how the Pacers season went and how every player performed, the Locked On Pacers Podcast went in depth on every key figure on the team's 2022-23 campaign, including each player and key decision maker. Host Tony East was joined by Caitlin Cooper from Basketball She Wrote to discuss the season of 14 players on the roster as well as head coach Rick Carlisle and President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard.

To discuss the campaign every player had, East and Cooper came up with one statistic, one clip, and one over/under that defined the player's season and next steps. You can listen, watch, or read those episodes at the links below.
