27-year old SG/SF Danny Granger is one of the least appreciated stars in the NBA but the man can flat out play. Granger has played in 27 games (all starts) for the Pacers so far this year and he is averaging 37.1 minutes, 21.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocked shot per game.

He is only shooting 34.1% from the floor and he is 7 of 25 (28%) from three point range, so he isn’t likely to start seeing more minutes unless he starts hitting some shots. 20-year old SG Lance Stephenson isn’t likely to get much P.T. this year for the Pacers due to his off the court problems.

The Pacers wanted more toughness, rebounding and defense out of the power forward position so they have turned to 33-year old Jeff Foster. In his last 2 games, Foster is averaging 19.5 minutes, 4.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.0 blocked shots per game. Foster has now played in 7 games (2 starts) so far this year for the Pacers and he is averaging 13.3 minutes, 2.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.7 blocked shots per game. Foster will continue to get minutes as long as he can stay healthy.
