The Indiana Pacers' 2024 playoff run was something fans will not forget for a while. Despite being projected to win 38 games prior to the season, then be a first-round exit, then a second-round exit, Indiana managed to win 47 games, avoid the Play-In, defeat a new rival in the first round, followed by their biggest rival in the second round before ultimately falling to the mighty Boston Celtics in the Conference Finals.

With the focus shifting to the offseason for Indiana and what they can do to improve for next season, now is a perfect time to look at the whole playoff run under a microscope and see how each player did. These players have been given grades on their performances in all three individual rounds already, and now it is time to look at all they have done through their 15-17 games representing Indiana in the 2024 playoffs.

With the playoffs, it is a bit harder to narrow down the players to rank, but I will only be focusing on the top nine minute-getters on the team, along with coach Rick Carlisle. These players will be judged based on expectations before the round, where those expectations went, their role on the team, and what their current play means for next season.

Without further ado, let's get to the grades!
