Guard T.J. Ford had one of his best seasons to date with scoring 15 points per game and 5 assists. If the Pacers ever expect to compete in the same division as the Cleveland Cavaliers, their defense must improve and improve fast.
The Pacers did draft former college player of the year Tyler Hansbrough - what impact he will have in his rookie year in unknown. What Hansbrough lacks in skill he makes up for it in hustle.
