Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Indiana Pacers.

As for all of our top 50 players in basketball, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Indiana continued to improve by making it to the Eastern Championship Finals. There were no new entrants, but three elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Reggie Miller
2. Mel Daniels
3. George McGinnis
4. Roger Brown
5. Billy Knight

You can find the entire list here.

Veteran Center Myles Turner moved to #12 from #17.

Tyrese Haliburton, who was a Third-Team All-NBA Player last season, vaults to #24 from #47. 

T.J. McConnell jumped to #41 from #50.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

11. Myles Turner

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 11th 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.
