For better or worse, Monta Ellis dared to do things this season that George Hill rarely attempted. Moving forward, the Indiana Pacers must decide if they are risk takers or risk averse.
Monta Ellis wasn't the high-volume scorer he used to be in his first season with the Indiana Pacers. In fact, far from it. The once derogatorily pegged "chucker" used the lowest percentage of his team's possessions and attempted his fewest field goals per game since his rookie season.
Instead, there were occasions where the 30-year-old actually bordered on being "pass first".
