An original Indiana Pacer, Bob Netolicky, signed with the new team as opposed to the San Diego Rockets, who chose him in the Second Round.

Freddie Lewis played just one season with the Cincinnati Royals backing up Hall of Famer, Oscar Robertson, before being chosen by the San Diego Rockets in the Expansion Draft.  Rather than report to the Rockets, he joined the Pacers of the ABA in their inaugural season, where he was a starter bouncing from the Point and Shooting Guard position.  Lewis was an ABA All-Star three times (1968, 1970 & 1972) and was the lynchpin to their dynasty that would win three ABA Titles in four seasons.  The Guard was traded to the Memphis Sounds after the 1973-74 Season but returned for one final season in Indiana, who was now in the NBA before retiring for good.

Detlef Schrempf will always be best remembered in the NBA as a Seattle SuperSonic, but his American stardom really began in the state of Indiana.

Playing the first 11 of his 12 NBA seasons with the Pacers, Vern Fleming was the 18^th overall Draft Pick from the University of Georgia, where he would be their starting Point Guard for seven years.  Fleming averaged 12 Points per Game in each of those campaigns, and in four of them, he made the top twenty in Assists per Game.  He would come off the bench in his final four years in Indiana, and in his 816 Games, he would post a PPG of 11.7 with a PER of 15.4.
