Stat Predictions

Points Per Game: 23.3

Rebounds Per Game: 7.1

Assists Per Game: 3.9

Minutes Per Game: 35.5

Although George will be a huge part of the offense for Indiana next season, he has scorers such as Ellis, Hill, and Rodney Stuckey to share the court with, which may keep him from averaging in the 25 ppg range but will help in the assist category. Playing the stretch four and with no David West or Roy Hibbert on the roster, it is safe to assume that George’s rebound average will improve from previous years.

Although the Pacers will need time to adjust to their new system and style of play, George is going to be the key in helping a return back to the playoffs.
