|
| |  | INDIANA: GUARDS: Indy couldn't find an upgrade on GEORGE HILL this offseason, and losing Lance Stephenson and Paul George means Hill will have to play a more traditional ball-handling role this year . . . RODNEY STUCKEY's combo-guard skills probably make him the best fit alongside Hill. Whether he's up to the task defensively will decide whether he's a full-time player or a time-share guy . . . C.J. MILES will help fill the need for perimeter shooting, especially with Paul George out . . . They have a solid veteran back-up in C.J. WATSON. He's the closest thing to a pure point guard on this roster, and is a bigger need for the second unit than the starting five. FORWARDS: PAUL GEORGE was poised for an MVP run, but he'll now miss the season after a compound leg fracture during Team USA practice. He's no guarantee to ever return at full strength . . . DAVID WEST's floor-spacing, mid-range game is key in this system . . . He was a dud in his first season with the Pacers, but Indy might have no choice but to plug LUIS SCOLA into their thin frontcourt rotation . . . DAMJAN RUDEZ is a stretch-4 with three-point range. He could push Scola for a rotation spot . . . The Pacers are hoping SOLOMON HILL is ready to be a second-unit glue guy . . . LAVOY ALLEN brings size and opposable thumbs . . . They seemingly have little use for CHRIS COPELAND after signing Rudez. CENTERS: As strange as it seems, ROY HIBBERT might benefit most from the departure of Lance Stephenson. The big man was referring to Stephenson when he talked about selfish play. Of course, Hibbert's atrocious performance late last season is a problem in and of itself . . . IAN MAHINMI has size and six fouls to give. | | BROOKLYN: GUARDS: Even after Paul Pierce came to Brooklyn, JOE JOHNSON remained the clear-cut No. 1 option in Brooklyn. Their offense figures to feature Johnson backing down defenders frequently again this year . . . DERON WILLIAMS seems to be deteriorating rapidly, struggling to stay healthy and losing confidence . . . JARRETT JACK figures to take Shaun Livingston's old role, playing alongside Williams often to take ball-handling duties off his plate . . . ALAN ANDERSON will see time at both wing spots as a defensive specialist who shoots some corner threes . . . SERGEY KARASEV has some long-term upside, but will do little this year . . . MARQUIS TEAGUE figures to have the edge on MARKEL BROWN for the No. 3 PG job. FORWARDS: With Paul Pierce gone, MIRZA TELETOVIC has a chance to take on a bigger role. He held his own defensively last year and provides another deep threat to space the floor . . . There's no telling what, if anything, they'll get out of ANDREI KIRILENKO this season. He seems to be at a point in his career when he's just not going to be able to stay healthy . . . BOJAN BOGDANOVIC should give Brooklyn some additional offensive firepower off the bench. He'll likely be a regular in the rotation by midseason . . . KEVIN GARNETT figures to play a bit more at the 4 alongside Brook Lopez, but there's pretty much no gas left in the tank for this 38-year-old player . . . Second-round pick CORY JEFFERSON is likely ticketed for the D-League. CENTERS: The Nets desperately need a healthy BROOK LOPEZ if they're going to win the Atlantic Division, but they'll have to monitor his minutes closely after another season lost to injury . . . With Lopez healthy, MASON PLUMLEE will resume his natural role as an energy guy off the bench. |

*Pacers-Nets Preview* =====================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Senior Writer
Indiana (10-19) at Brooklyn (12-15), 8:00 p.m. EDT
Deron Williams has returned but sees no reason to alter Brooklyn's rotation with Jarrett Jack playing so well in a starting role for the surging Nets.
They'll shoot for a fourth straight victory Saturday night while looking to avoid dropping a fifth consecutive meeting with the visiting Indiana Pacers.
Williams was day to day and missed two games with a strained right calf but was cleared shortly before tipoff Friday against Boston. He came off the bench to score eight points in nearly 21 minutes, helping the Nets (13-15) earn a third straight victory for the first time this season with a 109-107 win.
Jack scored a season-high 27 points, including a tiebreaking jumper with 28 seconds remaining. He's averaged 19.7 points and 7.7 assists in his three starts this season in place of Williams, who said following the game that he's just trying to get back in rhythm and is comfortable coming off the bench.
Brooklyn had lost six of eight prior to its current run and also has dealt with rumors that Williams is on the trading block.
"I know it sounds crazy, but we've been coming together this past month," Jack said. "We just have to keep building on this positive atmosphere that we're creating and just try to ride this wave as long as we can."
Brook Lopez also has played a reserve role in the last two games after missing the previous eight with a back injury. He's totaled 14 points while shooting 7 of 12 in roughly 22 combined minutes.
"It just shows how much we've improved, what we can be," Lopez said. "This isn't the limit for us. We expect a lot more from ourselves."
Coach Lionel Hollins didn't say if any changes to his starting rotation were imminent with Williams' return, but he praised his club for its recent improvement. Each victory during Brooklyn's winning streak has come by six points or fewer.
"We're growing. That's what it's about," Hollins said. "You can't just outscore everybody every night. If we can get another win (Saturday), that will be great. We're starting to find out how we need to play to win."
The Pacers (10-20) also appear to be improving, but they fell short of their first three-game winning streak with Friday's 119-109 loss at Detroit.
Roy Hibbert scored 19 points before fouling out with just under six minutes left. C.J. Watson and Luis Scola added 14 apiece and George Hill had 13 off the bench in his second game this season after returning from a knee injury.
Indiana, which has lost nine of 10 on the road, shot a season-best 50.6 percent, but the Pistons finished at 54.7 and scored a season high for a Pacers opponent. Indiana's 18 turnovers were one short of tying a season worst.
"We've just got to play better," coach Frank Vogel said. "We turned the ball over too much. It's a completely different kind of opponent. We'll game plan for Brooklyn."
Indiana swept last season's four-game series with Brooklyn, though both teams now look vastly different. Injured Pacers guard Paul George scored 20 points and since-departed Nets swingman Shaun Livingston had 24 in Indiana's 97-96 win Feb. 1 in the last meeting.
