Quick Thoughts:
If you thought the Bulls were hard to watch last year, wait until you get a look at this Pacers team. An already bad offense will be worse after losing Paul George and Lance Stephenson, leaving them to replace over 5000 minutes on the wing with Rodney Stuckey, C.J. Miles, and Donald Sloan. Stuckey is a terrible shooter, Miles is merely an average player, and Sloan has literally done nothing in his brief NBA career (0.1 Win Shares in three seasons). Miles can stretch the floor, and Indiana also signed Croatian shooter Damjan Rudez, but there's basically no offensive upside on this roster.

Player to Watch: Chris Copeland
Copeland signed a two year deal last summer, but barely played in his first season with the Pacers. He is a three-point specialist whose main role thus far in his career has been as a stretch four. But with four big men ahead of him on the depth chart, and Rudez in the fold, Copeland may see more time on the wing.

Over the last two seasons, how many players have had a True Shooting Percentage less than 50% with an above average Usage Rate?
Hibbert is bad at offense.
Next up, the Cleveland Cavaliers
