George played in 61 games (19 starts) for the Pacers as a rookie last year and he averaged 20.7 minutes, 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steal per game. 34-year old James Posey will be #3 in line at small forward for the Pacers in 2011-12.

25-year old George Hill will likely be taking over as the starting shooting guard for the Pacers in 2011-12.
