Indiana Pacers
Biggest Hole: Thin Backcourt
You can argue that the Indiana Pacers had one of the best offseasons of any team not named Golden State Warriors. By adding Al Jefferson, Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young, the Pacers should be penciled into one of the top 5 seeds in the Eastern Conference.
If there is an issue that the Pacers will have to work through this season, it’s going to be their relatively thin backcourt.
Beyond starters Jeff Teague and Monta Ellis, the Pacers don’t really have any other player in the backcourt that can be relied on. Are you trusting Joe Young, who is entering his second season in the NBA, as a backup point guard?
How about Rodney Stuckey, who has always left something to be desired? Glenn Robinson III? Yea…I don’t know.
