Offseason review: It was a rapid descent from consecutive Eastern Conference finals appearances to the lottery for the Pacers, and this offseason was a time to reset and move past the Roy Hibbert era. He’s off to the Los Angeles Lakers, and this is Paul George’s team now. Indiana wants him to play power forward, and Monta Ellis will help pick up the pace. With just a couple moves, Indiana remade its team.
Grade: C
2015-16 season outlook: A healthy George could help the Pacers to a better record than last year’s team, but rim protection will be a question for Indiana with Hibbert gone. Once again, this team will be on the outside looking in for the Eastern playoff race, with a lottery berth as likely as sneaking into the No. 7 or No. 8 seed.
Prediction: 9th Eastern Conference
