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.

Danny Granger played the majority of his career with the Indiana Pacers, where he was a model of consistent progression.  This isn't hyperbole as he became the first player ever to raise his Points per Game Average by at least five points in three consecutive seasons (2005-06 to 2008-09).  In that last season, Granger had the best year of his career as his 25.8 PPG placed him 5^th overall, and he would also be named an All-Star and the Most Improved Player of the Year.  Granger was never an All-Star again, but he followed that up with two more 20 PPG plus seasons, and he was the team's leading scorer for five straight seasons.
