<p>Parris Campbell's broken foot is one thing I cannot blame Carson Wentz for! &nbsp;Colts fans need to breathe deep and grant GM Chris Ballard a little patience in dealing with the thin receiver position! &nbsp;Pacers ready for their chance to get a potential star at #6! &nbsp;Will it be Jaden Ivey, Shaedon Sharpe, Keegan Murray, or Bennedict Mathurin? &nbsp;Hope about a bold dice roll with a boom/bust type and sure thing good player after trading into the rear of the lottery? &nbsp;Former Purdue forward Caleb Swanigan passes away at just 25. &nbsp;Five years ago tomorrow he became a first round pick of the Portland Trailblazers.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
