37. Travis Best

Travis Best was chosen by the Pacers in the 1st Round (23rd Overall) from Georgia Tech, and he was a dependable backup Point Guard for the team for the first six and half years of his NBA career.  He would help the Pacers reach the 2000 NBA Finals and the season after he had his best season.  That year he would average 31.9 Minutes with career-highs of 11.9 Points and 6.1 Assists per Game.

36. James Edwards

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.

Austin Croshere played 540 Games and the first nine seasons of his career in the National Basketball Association with the Indiana Pacers.  Playing at Power Forward, the former Providence Friar rarely started but was an excellent role player who fought for every bucket. 

Darnell Hillman was not the best Pacer during their days in the ABA, but for many, he was the one that their fans may have remembered the most.
