INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Maybe Paul George isn’t completely sold on a new position.
He does believe going small and playing fast is the Pacers’ quickest way to regaining its contender status in the Eastern Conference.
On Monday, the two-time NBA All-Star explained his concerns about making the switch and why Indiana’s offseason overhaul makes sense.
“I think it will be good for us. I think it give us a chance to again, change the East, gives us a chance to play faster, to play a funner, better brand of basketball,” George said during the team’s annual media day. “It’s definitely tougher to guard, and I think we would have been in The Finals and had a shot at winning it all, if it wasn’t for this small ball idea.”
Indiana has doubled down on making the conversion.
