2. Lance Stephenson
The Pacers are currently on a historic struggle bus, but that doesn’t take away from the importance of Lance Stephenson. He might be immature and irresponsible at times, but his production and impact on games this year and in the playoffs cannot be denied. He finished Game 3 against the Atlanta Hawks with 21 points and 13 rebounds.
The Atlanta Hawks are giving the top seed Indiana Pacers everything they have. It’s time for Stephenson’s running mates Paul George and Roy Hibbert to step it up for Indiana if they hope to advance and put this potential epic collapse behind them.
