As the 2018-19 NBA season approaches, prominent sites across the internet are beginning to release their annual rankings of the best players in the NBA.
Sports Illustrated's The Crossover was the first outlet to take on this yearly exercise, unveiling the first half of its rankings of the top 100 players in the league. Three Pacers players were slotted between 100th and 51st in their rankings.
The rankings, which authors Ben Golliver and Rob Mahoney write are "based on a fluid combination of subjective assessment and objective data", slotted third-year big man Domantas Sabonis at 79th, veteran power forward Thaddeus Young at 76th, and fourth-year center Myles Turner at 67th.
