Power ranking all five starters for the Indiana Pacers
By Luke Parrish
No. 3: Caris LeVert
There is a strong chance Caris LeVert leads the Pacers in scoring this season, which he showed a glimpse of at the end of last season. He caught fire down the final stretch and helped the Pacers get into a position to earn a playoff spot before ultimately falling to the Wizards in the Play-In Tournament.
LeVert missed a huge chunk of last season as he recovered from surgery and it took a bit for him to settle in with the Pacers. With a full season in front of him, there is no telling what LeVert is capable of and how he can lead the Indiana Pacers. Defensively, LeVert is not a world-beater so that will hurt him a bit in these rankings.
When it comes to choosing the scariest offensive threat for Indiana, it comes down to Caris and Warren for me. Those two should be the go-to scorers this season as long as they are healthy. Both are capable of scoring from anywhere on the floor and both have exploded for massive outings from time to time.
Indiana is in very good hands with Caris LeVert and Malcolm Brogdon in the backcourt. I would not be surprised to see Caris handle some of the point guard duties when Brogdon shares the floor as an off-ball guard.
