5. Indiana Pacers

Projected Starting Frontcourt: Paul George, Thaddeus Young, Myles Turner

Paul George is a complete monster. Averaging 23 PPG, 7 RPG and 4 APG, he plays all aspects of the game really well. He also posts a 4.5 BP/M and 9.2 win share for ranking in the top 20 in the NBA in both.

Thaddeus Young, who was drowning in Brooklyn, brings over good shooting range and rebounding abilities at a position Indiana looked to improve in. Turner, who is only 20, made some late season contributions as a rookie and is just finding his NBA game.

I love George. I love Young. Turner will make big sophomore strides as Indiana looks to get into the top seeds of the East.
