Steve Stipanovich was the Big Eight Player of the Year at the University of Missouri, and he parlayed that into the second overall pick in 1983.  The 6' 11" Center would quickly start for the Pacers and over the next five years, would put forth very consistent numbers.  He would average between 12.0 and 13.7 Points per Game in each season while also posting between 6.9 and 8.3 Rebounds per Game during that same run.  In his last four seasons, he would also have a PER between 15.0 and 15.9.

Oh, what could have been.

Clark Kellogg looked like a superstar in the making as a rookie.  That year, after being the 8^th Overall Pick from Ohio State, he would make the All-Rookie Team with what would turn out to be career highs of 20.1 Points, 10.6 Rebounds per Game, and a 20.3 PER.  It didn't quite work out that way, though Kellogg did have similar (though not better) numbers in his next two years, but that would end the peak of his career.  Chronic knee problems rendered him to only 23 more Games over the next two seasons, and he was forced to retire at age 25.

Herb Williams played the first eight seasons of his career with the Indiana Pacers, and the big man's best seasons were playing in the Hoosier State.  Williams could score, and over his Pacers tenure, he averaged an even 15 Points per Game, peaking at 19.9 in 1985-86.  Williams was a decent rebounder but a much better blocker.  On four occasions, Williams was in the top ten in Blocks per Game and would overall average 1.9 Blocks per Game and Block Percentage.

David West's best years were with the New Orleans Pelicans, where he would be a two-time All-Star.  That being said, West still had plenty to offer the Pacers when he signed with them as a Free Agent in 2011.
