On today's episode of Setting The Pace, Alex Golden and Mike Facci discuss their fantasy football teams and Tyrese Haliburton making his first appearance on a basketball court since his Achilles injury in June. Haliburton posted a video of himself shooting free throws with assistant coach, Isaac Yacob rebounding.

Then, Alex and Facci rank all 15 starting point guards in the Eastern Conference. The guys compare their rankings to how NBA 2k26 had their point guards rated. The guys had similar lists once again, with a couple of differences that caused for a good debate...but the real question is, where did the guys land on Nembhard for starting point guards in the East this season. The guys also discuss where Haliburton would be ranked if healthy and where the NBA 2k ratings had Tyrese in the East.

Players that we ranked against Nembhard: Trae Young (Hawks), LaMelo Ball (Hornets), Bub Carrington (Wizards), Davion Mitchell (Heat), Jalen Suggs (Magic), Immanuel Quickley (Raptors), Tyrese Maxey (76ers), Payton Pritchard (Celtics), Tyson Etienne (Nets), Jalen Brunson (Knicks), Cade Cunningham (Pistons), Kevin Porter Jr. (Bucks), Darius Garland (Cavaliers) and Josh Giddey (Bulls).
