16. Indiana Pacers
Projected Starting Five: Jeff Teague, Monta Ellis, Paul George, Thaddeus Young, Myles Turner
The Indiana Pacers are coming off a great offseason, depending on who you talk to. Did they lose some depth? Certainly. But, in the process, the argument could be made that their starting unit indeed got better.
Starting with the point guard, Jeff Teague will give this team an additional playmaker to Paul George. Speaking of George, he’s coming off arguable his best season if his career – and he’s only going to get better.
Monta Ellis is going to Monta. Though, he is coming off a pretty up and down year. Thaddeus Young was also a nice addition this summer, but needs to find a consistent three-point shot to truly make his impact felt on this squad. Lastly, I couldn’t be more excited about the potential of Myles Turner.
