- 20.4 points per game

- 7 rebounds per game
- George is one of the top players in the NBA and a team leader. The Pacers will look to him if they hope to make some noise this season. Injuries have hurt George in the early portion of this season, but his presence is surely felt when he suits up.

- 12.4 points per game
- 3.2 assists per game
- 4.8 rebounds per game
- Johnson has become one of the most intriguing players in the NBA. As an undrafted player, Johnson had to prove night in and night out to the league that he was ready for the next level. After some time in the D-League (NBA Developmental League), he was called up by the Heat and has not looked back. With the departure of Dwyane Wade from Miami to Chicago and the uncertainty of Chris Bosh’s playing future, Johnson is being looked upon to perform at a high level every night.
