Best modern 10-man Pacers rotation 

Post#1 » by durantbird » Sun Aug 10, 2025 2:03 pm

Pick ten players, you can use their best season wearing Pacers uniform (at least 50% of the season playing for the Pacers).
Assemble your best 10-man rotation best suited in your eyes to compete in modern-game environment.

My pick:
Tyrese Haliburton / Don Buse
Reggie Miller / Victor Oladipo
Paul George / Ron Artest
Danny Granger / Pascal Siakam
Myles Turner / Jermaine O'Neal

Potential candidates:
Roger Brown, George McGinnis, Mel Daniels, Brad Miller, Domantas Sabonis, Rik Smits, Jalen Rose, Mark Jackson, Stephen Jackson, TJ McConnell, Aaron Nesmith, Andrew Nembhard, Billy Knight, Chuck Person

No ABA guys makes no sense, they were by far the most important unit of the Pacers history.

Essentially what the post asks is "Pick ten players, you can use their best season wearing Pacers uniform". I only give my pick as an example. The post isn't about reviewing my pick necessarily, you can do that of course, but the aim is for respondents to pick their rotation

If it's best season relative to their league rather than best in 2025-26, Mel Daniels would be starting at center, backed by O'Neal, and Roger Brown would probably be backing up Reggie at the 2.
