37. Darren Collison

37. Darren Collison

An All-Rookie Selection with the New Orleans Hornets in 2010, Darren Collison arrived in Indiana the year after as part of a four-team trade.

Collison would become the starting Point Guard for the Pacers for two years, and he would average 11.9 Points per Game.  In both of those years, he would help Indiana reach the playoffs.  Collison was traded to Dallas in 2012 but would return as a Free Agent before the 2017-18 season for what would be his last two seasons in the NBA.

Once again, a starter for Indiana, Collison would have his best shooting year in 2017-18 with a league leading .468 shooting percentage from behind the arc.  In both of those years, he would again average over 11 Points per Game.

Overall, Collison would average 11.9 Points per Game for the Pacers.
