Oriental Basket came to the player's locker room under the leadership of the staff, and there were several relatively empty storage rooms that were not used, but there will be one of them in the future, and the staff began to explain the current situation of the Pacers team to Oriental Basket.

We have a very good starting lineup right now, as you've probably heard, but our starting point guard is George? Hill: Basketball has a high IQ, excellent first steps, exaggerated arm span, consistent play, and is a very mature offensive player who can score in any area of the court with excellent skills and solid fundamentals. He has amazing on-court efficiency and a high shooting percentage (21.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals per game). His long arms combined with his slender build allow him to do even better. It has an NBA three-point shooting range, strong air ability and high shooting point, and shoots quickly and softly. He has a lot of scoring tools, and can turn and shoot very beautifully, feint to pass, make mid-range pullup jump shots, and have the ability to finish when the game is deadlocked. He has good ball handling skills, and for a standout scorer, he is very selfless and an underrated passer. His excellent basketball IQ allows him to always be in a good position when grabbing rebounds and stand well on the defensive end. George? Hill plays more of an SG position, but his size dictates that he needs to transition to PG at a higher level (NBA), at least a two-way guard. His lack of skill in possession and control of the game has led him to average 2.9 turnovers per game when he is pressed defensively. And his average level of athleticism and lack of speed make it possible for him to have trouble dominating possession on the field. George? Hill's height and pace are also a problem when defending big guards. Despite his excellent performances against strong teams, Iupui is in the minor leagues, which will affect his draft prospects due to a foot injury that saw him miss most of his sophomore season. There are rumours that he has been playing with a post-injury fixing screw on his foot, which will undoubtedly be a concern. Despite being repeatedly targeted by NBA scouts in college, Hill didn't make the list in most mock drafts, and a month later, Hill went to tryouts for several teams, where he got the attention of scouts for his impressive performance in the Orlando Magic's preseason training camp and was predicted to be drafted in the second round. God is still merciful and always willing to favor those who need to be remembered. Before many people considered being prepared to forget about the poor lad, the Spurs bet on the player with a decent basketball IQ and potential with the 26th pick in the first round. Manu Ginobili's unexpected season write-off in the early stages of the playoffs also allowed the unobtrusive rookie to gain more playoff minutes in his first year in the league and accumulate valuable experience on the old powerhouses, although his playoff performance as a two-way guard was still so young. On July 14, 2008, Hill scored 17 points, plus eight rebounds, in his first game as a member of the Spurs' Summer League, while shooting 5-of-17 from the field. Throughout the Summer League, Hill struggled with poor shooting percentage, shooting just 2-of-25 and 1-of-6 from three-point range. In the three games he played, he averaged 8 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in 31.7 minutes per game. On September 23, 2008, the Spurs signed Hill to a rookie contract with a two-year guarantee and a two-year team option. Hill made his NBA debut on Nov. 4, 2008 against the Spurs against the Dallas Mavericks, having missed the previous two regular-season games due to a sprained left thumb. Hill played 15 minutes and scored 11 points, a steal and an assist. After Tony Parker's injury, Hill was pushed into the starting spot. After Parker and Ginobili returned from injury, Hill's playing time began to dwindle. In 2008-09, Hill averaged 5.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. He made his playoff debut in Game 2 of the first round against the Mavericks, but he played just five minutes. Hill spent most of the offseason practicing point guard skills under trainer Chad Fucier, and his shooting was practiced by Spurs shooting coach Chip England. At the suggestion of former Spurs player Bruce Bowen, Hill began to focus on improving his ability to shoot three-pointers from the bottom corner. By the time training camp began, Hill had made 8,000 three-pointers. The massive improvement in the offseason has led Spurs head coach Grigg Vic to publicly state that Hill is the favorite player on his team, and without the start of the 2009-10 season, Hill's efforts in the offseason have paid off handsomely, increasing his playing time from 16.5 to 29 minutes per game and making 43 starts, most of them during Parker's injury. He averaged more than twice as many points per game, and his shooting percentage increased by 7.5 percentage points from the field and 7.9 percent from three-point range. On April 1, 2010, in the Spurs' home win over the Houston Rockets, Hill scored a career-high 30 points, along with five steals and seven assists. At the end of the regular season, Hill tied for second place with Kevin Durant and Marc Gasol as the most improved player of the year, with all three scoring 101 points. The Spurs' first-round series against the Mavericks was Hill's big break, as he didn't score a point in 17 minutes after returning from an ankle injury in the first game. But in the second and third games, he scored 7 and 17 points respectively, and in the fourth game, the Spurs' big three Duncan Parker Ginobili only shot 9 of 34 in total, but Hill stepped up to score a playoff high 29 points, 11 of 16 shots, including 5 of 6 three-pointers, and almost single-handedly led the Spurs to victory. Throughout the series, Hill averaged 22.3 points per game to help the Spurs win 4-2 over the Mavericks. On June 24, 2011, NBA Draft Day, the Indiana Pacers sent the No. 15 rookie, Kawhi Brown. Leonard, the No. 42 pick, and 2005 rookie Elazam? Lobeck's signing rights to get George Hill in a trade from the Spurs. On July 3, 2012, the Indiana Pacers and George Hill agreed to sign a five-year contract. That's our starting point guard, and then there's the scoring post.

Is our shooting guard Rodney? Starkey: Rodney? Starkey entered the NBA through the draft in 2007 and played for the Pistons and Pacers, where he was named to the All-Rookie Second Team in his rookie season. Rodney? Starkey began his college basketball career at Eastern Washington University. He averaged 24.6 points (7th in the nation), 5.5 assists, 4.7 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game in his sophomore season, scoring a season-high 36 points against Portland State and a career-high seven steals against Idaho State, scoring more than 30 points in nine games and more than 10 assists in three games all season. In his two seasons at the collegiate level, Starkey scored 1,438 points, hit 98 three-pointers, grabbed 279 rebounds, dished out 283 assists and handed over 145 steals. June 28, 2007 NBA Draft, Rodney? Starkey was drafted by the Detroit Pistons at No. 15 in the first round. Starkey averaged 32.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game before the start of the 2007-08 regular season, missing nearly two months of the regular season due to a fractured left hand in the final game of the preseason. On Dec. 2, 2007, two months after surgery, Starkey showed up at the Pistons' training ground; On December 21, in the Pistons' game against the Grizzlies, Starkey made his debut and scored 11 points in 6 minutes off the bench to officially start his NBA career. Rodney? Starkey is a two-way guard, in the team, his first position is point guard, second position is shooting guard, good at breaking, in 2008, after Billups was traded away, he became a key target for the Pistons, and he lived up to everyone's expectations, averaging 16.5 points and 5.4 assists per game in the first few games in the 08-09 season. As a sophomore, he's ready to challenge as the "Most Improved Player of the Regular Season." "What he's missing is opportunity" Iverson said of Starkey, as a young player, Starkey is obviously not very mature, in addition to opportunities, he should also learn from several old players in the team, so that he can take on the responsibility of the team boss earlier! After the end of the '08 season, the offseason ushered in the Pistons of shooting guard Ben Gordon and power forward Villanueva began a real rebuild, and the original old team was left, which made Starkey finally usher in his own era, even he himself said: "I have no choice, I have to take on the leadership responsibility, the sooner the better!" Next season, I'm going to take on more leadership responsibilities, I'm a point guard, and I need to have a lot of time with the ball and decision-making. Next season my team-mates will be doing their best with me. I'm ready. But now he's the starting point guard for the Pacers.

And then our No. 3 position, the leader of this team, Paul? George: 2010 NBA Draft, Paul? George was drafted by the Indiana Pacers with the 10th pick in the first round. Before the draft, the Pacers wanted to trade with the Nets, trading the No. 10 pick and the team's core Granger for the Nets' Devin? Harris, Yi Jianlian and even the No. 3 pick, but were ultimately rejected by the Nets. In the 2010-11 season, Paul? George started just 19 games and finished with 7.8 points and 3.7 rebounds to make the All-Rookie Second Team. He played 23 minutes in his opening game in the NBA and scored just four points on 1-of-5 shooting, but in his rookie season, he had a team-high number of steals per minute. In the 2011 playoffs, was he Landry? Aside from Fields, the only rookie in the Class of 2010 to be named in the starting lineup. In the 2011-12 season, the second season of his career, Paul? George has improved significantly, averaging 12.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game, playing in 66 games and starting all of them. With his outstanding performances, George was drafted to the rookie game in 2012 and competed in the All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest. In the game against the defending champion Mavericks, George slashed the overall statistics of 30 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 1 block, and he made seven three-pointers in the game. In the playoffs that year, the Pacers were eliminated by the Heat in the second round, and George had a mediocre 19-of-52 shooting in the series. In the 2012-13 season, Paul? George exploded in full swing and became Indiana's new leader with Granger missing most of the game due to injury. He played in 79 games in the regular season, averaging 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 17.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, becoming the backbone of the Pacers, and in the playoffs, he averaged 19.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. Not only was he selected to the All-Star team, but he also succeeded his predecessors when Granger was injured, leading the team to continue to gallop in the East, and finally finished third in the regular season. On November 4, 2012, in the Pacers' victory over the Kings, Paul? George grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds. On November 22, 2012, the Pacers narrowly won in overtime against the Hornets. Paul? George made 9 of 13 three-pointers from the field, and his nine three-pointers also set a new record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in Pacers history. Prior to that, the team's single-game three-point shooting record was eight, led by Hall of Famer Reggie Edwards. Miller keeps. On January 11, 2013, in the Pacers' home win over the Knicks, Paul? George played 44 minutes and finished with 24 points, 11 rebounds, six steals (a career-high), five assists and one block on 10-of-24 shooting, including 2-of-8 three-pointers and 2-of-2 free throws. It also made him the first player in NBA history to score at least 25 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and five steals in a playoff game without helping the team win the game. On January 25, 2013, Paul George was named to the All-Star bench for the first time in his career, and in the Houston All-Star Game, George became a substitute for the East Army, grabbing 17 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in 20 minutes. In addition to the main game, George also participated in the three-point contest. On February 14, 2013, in the Pacers' victory over the Bobcats, Paul? George had his first career triple-double, contributing 23 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists, as well as two steals. George played well in the playoffs that followed, and the Pacers went 4-2 in the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Knicks. In the confrontation with Anthony, George did not fall behind at all, contributing 19, 20, 14, 18, 23, and 23 points in 6 games, and there were no explosive statistics, but they were unusually stable. In the Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers played against the Heat, George exposed his lack of experience in the first game, and LeBron made a layup at the last moment. He scored 27 points in the game, hit a three-pointer with 0.7 seconds left in regulation time, and made three free throws before the final 2.2 seconds of overtime. In the tie-break, George only scored 7 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and the Pacers lost by 23 points to end the 2012-13 season. But in general, George is characterized by being very versatile. His ball handling is not particularly consistent, but his catch-and-catch shots are reliable. George was particularly accurate in his shots after getting through the cover of his interior teammates, second at small forward; No one in the top 10 is more accurate than him, not even Durant. George's ball-handling skills are not variable, after all, his center of gravity is too high. Fortunately, his athleticism is great, and sometimes he can get to the basket and make fouls without covering. The Pacers' congested interior line somewhat hampered George's finishing efficiency, but he still ranked in the top 10 of his position in free throw percentage. George can also help with the team's uncontrolled system, with an assists rate of 7th among small forwards and a medire turnover rate. If you talk about offense alone, George is not as good as Jandu melon; If you add defense, he can at least be on the same level as Anthony. George can rely on his height and reach to cover the opponent's wing ace, and his athleticism is reflected in a number of stats. His rebounding percentage is 10th in his position, and his quick hands ensure a steal rate behind Leonard and Brewer. These traits also allow George to counter directly after grabbing a rebound or breaking the ball, enriching the Pacers' slower offensive routine. His fancy dunk against the Clippers is a prime example.
