This season’s revamped Indiana Pacers roster includes a few new faces. The new additions are primarily players who will impact the team’s backcourt. However, for the team’s frontcourt, there are familiars faces scattered throughout with the exception of Goga Bitadze.
This season it has been indicated that big men, Domantas Sabonis and Myles Turner will start at the power forward and center positions respectively. This move thrusts last season’s primary backup center, Sabonis, into a new position and opportunity.
Due to the absence of Sabonis at center, this moves Bitadze into what seems to be the backup center role for the Pacers heading into the start of a new season.
