Indiana Pacers: 5 most productive duos on the roster
By Josh Wilson
Myles Turner and Aaron Holiday
Net rating: 5.8 (669 minutes)
This duo, compared to the other four we’ll touch on in this article, has the slowest pace but still manages to put up solid scoring and strong defense in the time they play together.
With an offensive rating of 111.0 and 105.1, Holiday and Turner make the most of their time together when the bench unit is starting to filter in for the starting unit.
Turner anchors the defensive end in these situations, and Holiday comes in to assist with offensive facilitation duties. Their true shooting percentage is low relative to the other top duos, but they manage to get the job done.
T.J. Warren and Aaron Holiday
Net rating: 5.8 (793 minutes)
T.J. Warren and Aaron Holiday have found themselves on the floor for quite some time together as players that are often identified to be a part of different units. Their overlap has been positive, posting a net rating of 5.8 in almost 800 minutes of play together.
Their offensive rating just barely misses 112 and their defensive rating is just above 106.1.
Warren has rolled out a really complete offensive game this year and has displayed better awareness on the defensive end this season than in any year prior. He has a tendency to fade into the background on defense, but has not proven to be a liability.
Holiday is an OK defender, but injects ball movement and smart passing into the offense when he comes into the game.
This duo has a fairly low turnover percentage and is one of the many starter-bench duos that performs quite well, displaying the positive returns the Pacers get while they’re rotating their bench in for their starting unit.
