Certainly, I can believe that ESPN.com has the Pacers ranked 21st, just as I can believe that CBSSportsline.com has them ranked 20th. If viewed from a distance, this is not a particularly impressive team, on paper. The highest-profile player, Reggie Miller, is 36. There were no major transactions in the offseason, and those typically become the hot-buttons for preseason predictors. Other than Jermaine O'Neal, none of the other young players have broken through into the national spotlight. Yet.
