Indiana Pacers


The Indiana Pacers are oh so close to the playoffs, but may fall short if their current trajectory holds true. The challenge for the Pacers so far has been trying to align NBA stars to pace alongside small forward Paul George. George is six years into the NBA, and is at his peak in terms of his career. Fortunately, the Pacers were able to wrest point guard Jeff Teague from the Atlanta Hawks. Pacers current center, Myles Turner, is completely adequate for the Pacers so far. He generates rebounds, blocks, and has a good shot to pitch in over 15 points per game.
The Pacers still need to build contributing veterans around George to have a chance at a championship, but they won’t be shopping in Philadelphia to do so.
