3) Who will lead the Pacers offensively?

Siskin: PG and Ellis. No doubts. Don’t be surprised if Myles Turner becomes our third option as the season progresses.

Muncy: Paul George. If anyone else is leading this offense, then something has gone horribly wrong…again.

Wilson: Paul George without a doubt. PG has looked really fluid in the preseason and playing time as a stretch 4 should do wonders for him on the offensive end.

Rund: Duh. Is there any doubt it’ll be anyone other than Paul George? And no, being placed at the power forward spot will not hinder him in the least.

Turpen: Paul George. As we saw this preseason, PG is back and better than ever. The offense can, and should, run through him.

McKee: Paul George will remain the leader of this team for years to come. George Hill led the team in PG-13’s absence, but now Paul is healthy and ready to retake the reins and lead these Pacers to victories once again.

Stewart: PG-13 is the obvious choice, but I’m excited to see how Ellis ends up settling during the course of the regular season. He remains an undervalued pick-up even after the attention he received in preseason.
