The Indiana Pacers had five players crack ESPN’s top 100 list.
ESPN recently revealed its preseason rankings of the top 100 NBA players for the 2020-21 season. All five expected starters for the Indiana Pacers made the list but no player ranked higher than Malcolm Brogdon, who came in at 39. The full list can be found here (ESPN plus subscription required).
Brogdon, Indiana’s starting point guard, was a bit of a surprise to be the team’s highest-ranked player. I would have chosen Domantas Sabonis as Indiana’s best player but ESPN had Sabonis 50th overall and third on the Pacers.
