One reason Kevin Durant should consider every NBA team
By Brad Rowland
Indiana Pacers – A terrifying frontcourt
The Pacers have been quite interesting in recent years, but most of the NBA world hasn’t noticed. Aside from a torrid stretch to begin a season that involved the great (er, entertaining) Lance Stephenson and Roy Hibbert playing all-world basketball, Indiana has largely languished in the obscurity of the Eastern Conference.
With that said, the Pacers have two wildly intriguing building blocks that would undoubtedly interest Kevin Durant. Paul George is a legitimate star in the NBA that also doubles a two-way force given his length and overall defensive acumen. Next to him, the Pacers have a young, developing monster in Myles Turner, who profiles as a long-term center defensively that can step out and shoot with range to the three-point line.
In other words, look out for that potential frontcourt as the best in the NBA from the moment they come together as one unit.
Durant and George would work flawlessly together despite their superstar personas, and that duo would simultaneously take some pressure off Turner in his development, especially on the offensive end. Obviously, these are all hypothetical situations, but with these three players on board together, Indiana would be terrifying on both ends and a lot of fun to watch.
