Lavoy Allen

A consistent member of the frontcourt rotation for the first two-and-a-half months last season, Allen fell out of favor, as coach Frank Vogel opted for primarily small ball thereafter. Allen certainly wasn't aided by a sore right knee sustained on Jan. 29, missing the final six games before the All-Star break, but in the Pacers' last 42 contests, he achieved double-digit minutes in only seven of his 24 appearances. Since arriving in Indiana at the trade deadline in February of 2014, his workload has been similarly sporadic, as he's averaged 4.6 points (on 47 percent shooting), 4.6 rebounds, 1.0 assist, and 0.6 blocks in 15 minutes. Nevertheless, the departures of Roy Hibbert and David West in the offseason open the door for Allen to approach consistent run, especially with Paul George manning power forward (at least in the starting lineup) and the unsettled nature of the center spot. In order to do so, Allen will likely have to fend off two among Ian Mahinmi, free-agent addition Jordan Hill, and 2015 first-round selection Myles Turner.
