If you were hoping the NBA writers of the world would provide validation to your Indiana Pacers fandom, I’ve got some bad news for you.
Not a single member of the Pacers made the All-Defensive teams or the All-NBA teams.
Myles Turner received a significant number of All-Defensive team votes while Thaddeus Young got a pair, and on the All-NBA side, Turner and Domantas Sabonis got single votes for the Third-team.
While it’s nice to see Domas and Thad get a few votes, the real question is whether Turner deserved the nod on the All-Defensive second team over the Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid.
