25. Indiana Pacers

Projected Starters: Darren Collison, Victor Oladipo, Bojan Bogdanovic, Thaddeus Young, Myles Turner

Possible Starters: Cory Joseph, Lance Stephenson, Domantas Sabonis

The Indiana Pacers were always a team to watch with Paul George in the lineup. However, his team had been getting notably weaker by the year. His departure means a new beginning for the Pacers.

Turner fared well his second season and is unquestionably the team’s number one prized asset. Young’s 11.1 points per game last season mark his lowest output since his rookie year in 2007-08.

Consensus: The loss of Paul George is likely to take a major toll on this team as he was responsible for much of its past success. The Pacers do not have a particularly high ceiling this year.
