This.

. .this is going to get ugly.
Paul George is probably done for the year with a broken leg, and Stephenson is grazing in purpler pastures. Down their two best perimeter players on offense and defense, the Indiana Pacers are likely to struggle in a big way.
Frank Vogel nevertheless has Roy Hibbert at the center, and George Hill will continue to be one of the NBA’s better defensive point guards. So getting stops should still be a power for Indy, however, scoring is going to be demanding.
Really rough.
Remember, this team ranked 22nd in offensive efficiency this past year. After the All-Star fracture, just the Sixers’ scoring strike was less potent, per NBA.com. Taking away two of Indiana’s three leading scorers will make it almost impossible to have buckets at anything better than a bottom-five pace.
Perhaps Chris Copeland will stretch the floor with his shooting. Maybe Hibbert will turn into a bigger threat on the block. David West could have one more big year .
But even if all three of those things come to pass, it is difficult to say they’ll make up for losing George and Stephenson.
And in what might be the most frightening harbinger of an offensive tragedy to come, Donald Sloan leads Indy in preseason points per game and will be the starter at point guard for up to three weeks while Hill’s left knee mends.
Oh dear.
