The Indiana Pacers’ rookies were hit and miss in 2010-11
20-year old SG/SF Paul George really played well this year for the Pacers. He played in 61 games (19 starts) for the Pacers last year and he averaged 20.7 minutes, 7.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steal per game. Next year is likely the one in which George will get a real shot at winning the starting job at shooting guard. 20-year old shooting guard Lance Stephenson was so immature that he kept getting into trouble with his bosses and it kept him off the basketball court. Stephenson played in 12 games (0 starts) for the Pacers this year and he averaged 9.6 minutes, 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Stephenson only shot 33.3% from the floor (13 of 39 last year) and until that improves, the Pacers aren’t going to overlook his bad behavior.
