The Pacers have needed a good power forward since the departure of David West and Kenneth Faried will likely be available. He fits the scheme, and his arrival would be a positive move for Indiana.
It has been clear for some time now that the Pacers have needed to put an athletic power forward with an inside presence next to Myles Turner. The athleticism is needed purely because Turner is young and energetic and needs someone who can keep up with him in an up tempo offensive system. An inside presence is needed because Myles Turner will occupy the perimeter and most importantly the mid-range area.
