The Indiana Pacers have a center problem. Their rotation does not have enough size, and even when staggering Zubac and Siakam, there are still minutes that need sponging up. Enter Obi Toppin... who played only 3% of his minutes at center last year according to Basketball Reference. During the 2024-25 season, the Pacers were -2.6 with Obi Toppin on the floor by the same stat. No, the Pacers don't need excellent small-ball center play from Toppin.
