2. Troy Murphy, F/C, 2006-2010 (Notre Dame) Murphy was one of the most versatile Pacers in recent years. He averaged 14.3 points and 11.8 rebounds in 2008-09 and 14.6 points and 10.2 rebounds the next year.

Former coach Jim O’Brien often grew tired of getting questions about why McRoberts didn’t play more. He only started three games his first […]
