The first ten seasons of Myles Turner's career was with the Indiana Pacers, and at times he was under the radar, unless you were pating attention to strong defense and elite blocking.

Chosen 11^th Overall in 2015 from the University of Texas, Turner was a Second Team All-Rookie and averaged 10.3 Points per Game.  After his rookie year, Turner has never had a season since where he dipped below 12 Points per Game, but he has grown his Rebounding and Blocking numbers since his rookie year.  In 2018-19, Turner would lead the NBA in Blocks per Game (2.7), and as would do so again in 2020/21 with 3.4.   In eight of his ten years as a Pacer, Turner was in the top ten in Blocks per Game, and though his rebounding numbers were a little low for a Center, his point production increased in his last three years in the Hoosier State with at least 15 Points per Game.

In 2024-25, Turner was instrumental in bringing Indiana to the NBA Finals, but they fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder.  He departed the Pacers for the Milwaukee Bucks, and left behind ten good years in the paint.

Bill Keller would be drafted from Purdue by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 7^th Round in 1969, but he had a much better chance playing in the ABA, and he would sign with the Indiana Pacers of the ABA.

Antonio Davis would be drafted by the Indiana Pacers in the 2^nd Round of the 1990 Draft, but the Power Forward would ply his trade in Europe for a few years before he joined Indiana.  Davis joined Indiana in 1993 and would play there for six years, used mostly off of the bench.  Over his tenure as a Pacer, Davis would average 9.0 Points and 6.6 Rebounds per Game.

Troy Murphy was part of an eight-player deal that saw him join the Indiana Pacers in the 2006-07 season.  Murphy would take over the starting Power Forward role for the Pacers, where he would play for three and a half years.  Murphy averaged 12.2 Points per Game in his first full year in Indiana, but he increased that to over 14 Points in the next two years.  Murphy's rebounding numbers went up in those two campaigns to 11.8 and 10.2 and would finish second and seventh, respectively.  He was traded to New Jersey after the 2009-10 season.
