In today's episode, Alex and Facci debut their first episode of Draft Duels! Last season we went with the Prospect Chronicles, but wanted to change it up a bit and talk about two players at a time, and two that play the same position and our close on most people's Big Boards.

Today, we look at the Big Ten Player of the Year and the Pac-12 Player of the Year! We will discuss stats, pros and cons to their games, pros and cons to their fit with the Pacers, what draft range we would select them in, as well as sharing cool stories about each prospect.
