25-year old center Roy Hibbert is really playing well for the Pacers. He has played in 23 games (all starts) for the Pacers so far this year and he is averaging 29.7 minutes, 13.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 blocked shots per game. The Pacers don’t really have a backup for Hibbert right now as Jeff Foster is injured. They are trying to trade for Chris Kaman, that way the Pacers won’t have to play small when Hibbert needs a break. I think they should just play Hibbert more until they get him a legit backup.

Stephenson is only shooting a paltry 34.1% from the floor so far this year, which is pathetic.

He has played in 19 games (all starts) for the Pacers so far this year and he is averaging 29.3 minutes, 11.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game.

28-year old small forward Danny Granger is not playing well for the Indiana Pacers as his shooting has been way off so far this year. That hasn’t stopped him from hoisting up a lot of shots this year despite shooting only 37% from the floor. The Pacers have had other players pick up the slack for Granger so far this year. Granger has played in 16 games (all starts) for the Pacers so far this year and he is averaging 33.1 minutes, 16.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocked shot per game. If the Pacers can get Granger back on track, they are really going to take off.
