How good are the Pacers without Peja?

Second straight season that they lost a top 3-Point shooter. I think that the Pacers might be looking at a very low seed this year. You cant count on Jermaine O'Neal to stay Healthy, and who knows what Steven Jackson is going to do? Somebody on that team needs to step up besides O'Neal and/or Jackson. Maybe Fred Jones could put up some good stats, or Jamal Tinsley maybe?

I think that they'll do better without Peja because the team's really looking more athletic out there. Besides, it's not like Peja played a lot of games for them anyway. He was always injured throughout most of the games. Danny Granger's going to be a great NBA player in the near future because he plays good defense, he's a solid offensive weapon, & he's a good athlete with those long arms. Rawle Marshall will be a good rookie to watch throughout this season. Stephen Jackson's going to have a bad rep for the beginning of this season because of that whole gunshot thing, but he'll still be productive. Jermaine O'Neal's going to pull a 20-10 season this year. I can just feel it as long as he remains healthy. Newly acquired Marquis Daniels will be a great role player off the bench & Al Harrington's going to extend the defense out to the three-point line with his shooting range. He's also a solid rebounder too who'll help Jermaine O'Neal out with clearing up things in the glass.

They did add Harrington so they will be alright. Not a lot is expected from Indiana this year so they will sneak under the radar sort of win about 44-48 games.
