The Pacers are trying to play faster.
Out go Roy Hibbert, David West and Luis Scola.
In comes Jordan Hill

It will still be tough for Indiana to adjust, but Hill is a pretty good fit for its desired new system.
He’s a good athlete, which serves him well on both ends of the floor. He’ll be an effective screener in the pick-and-roll with Monta Ellis, and he can switch defensively.
With Hibbert going to the Lakers, this is effectively a swap of centers. Hibbert is the better player, but Hill might be a better fit with the Pacers. And he’ll surely cost less.
