The 2015-16 Indiana Pacers bear little resemblance to the squad that limped to the 2014-15 finish line.
For one, they have a healthy Paul George this time around. The two-time All-Star missed all but six games last season to a broken leg, but he's back at full strength now.
Yet, getting their best player back might not be the most dramatic thing that happened to the Pacers this summer. They reshaped their entire philosophy, moving from a team that dominated with defense to one that ideally will overwhelm with offense.
It's a risky ploy to say the least, considering the old approach led to consecutive Eastern Conference Finals berths in 2013 and 2014.
