Pacers to start Paul George at power forward in preseason opener

Indiana Pacers forward Paul George will start at power forward in Saturday's preseason opener against the New Orleans Pelicans.

What It Means:

This would mean that his first matchup would be against Anthony Davis, so this is going to be tons of fun. George hasn't completely embraced the idea of playing the four, but it would help the Pacers achieve a faster pace on offense, which has been their stated goal. George is said to be 100 percent healthy, but he's certainly worth monitoring this preseason.

While George absolutely broke out to start the 2013-'14 season, he saw those numbers plateau over the second half of that season. He missed most of 2015 with a serious leg injury. What George lacks in field-goal percentage -- 36.7 percent for his career -- he compensates for with his all-around production. In the 2013-2014 season, he averaged 21.7 points, 6.8 boards, 3.5 assists and 1.9 steals.
