League Search Page > NBA > Indiana Pacers > Roster & Statistics
The Indiana Pacers 2008–09 featured a balanced offense led by Danny Granger, whose scoring and all-around production made him the team’s focal point. Troy Murphy provided strong rebounding and floor spacing from the frontcourt, while T.J. Ford and Jarrett Jack shared primary playmaking duties. The roster emphasized perimeter scoring, ball movement, and balanced contributions, though its statistical profile reflected fewer strengths on the defensive end.

Functioned as Indiana’s primary offensive engine, carrying a heavy scoring burden while stretching defenses with 40.4% three-point shooting. Opponents routinely geared coverages toward him, yet he still finished among the league’s leading scorers and provided secondary rim protection from the wing. |

Operated as a floor-spacing power forward before that archetype became common, pairing elite rebounding with high-volume outside shooting. His 11.8 rebounds per game anchored the glass, while his perimeter range opened driving lanes for teammates. |
