Indiana Pacers: 50 greatest Pacers players [2023 update]
By Joe Lyon
12. Vern Fleming
- 11 seasons, 816 games
- 11.7 points per game
- 4.9 rebounds per game
Vern was going to make this list just by virtue of how long he played for the Pacers. 11 seasons? If you look back through this list you will see that amount of time with the Pacers is RARE. And while Vern has no all-star teams and not a lot of accolades, for over a decade Vern Fleming played solid basketball for the Indiana Pacers. Was he the most talented offensively on this list? Absolutely not. Was he the best defender on the list? Nope. Did he show up to work every year and compete at a high level for the Pacers for over a decade? Absolutely. And not many players on this list can say that.
