The best statistics of James Edwards' career took place in Indiana, where he arrived in a trade from the Los Angeles Lakers in his rookie season (1977-78). Nicknamed "Buddha," the big Center would play three and a half seasons for the Pacers, and while his rebounding and blocking numbers were arguably soft for his minutes logged and position, he had good numbers on the offensive side of the ball.
In every season in the Indiana gold and blue, Edwards never fell below 15.5 Points per Game and would average 15.9 overall for the team. He would also post 7.5 Rebounds and 1.3 Blocks per Game.
Edwards would later win three NBA Championships, two with the Detroit Pistons and one with the Chicago Bulls.
