Indiana Pacers Players to Watch
You have to pay attention to these three players, they are important pieces of the team and they will have to guide their team to victory.

In the 2023-2024 regular season he averages 19.9 points, 4.5 rebounds and 11.1 assists per game respectively, they will be very important for the offense and have a lot of weight on the team. Another important player is center Myles Turner (#33) who this season has managed to average 18.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. The team needs him to get rebounds and control the defense. Finally, forward Buddy Hield (#24) will be key in providing assists. Last season he had a very good tournament and this would be his third year in the league. He has averaged 17.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
