Thomas Bryant will wear No. 3 for the Pacers. George Hill is the best player to wear it for the Pacers.
Anytime George Hill is mentioned it must be pointed out he was better than Kawhi Leonard the first two seasons after the trade.

This IHSAA transfer story is so unfair - to three kids in two different families - and has me so upset, I begged Mt. Vernon’s principal to do the right thing.
Here’s how that went.
Story is open. I've got nothing to hide, and don't want a penny in subs for this one. Just want these kids to be OK.

Adults at Mt. Vernon HS and the IHSAA are hiding behind bylaws, ignoring what's best for three kids who transferred to Cathedral.
The details will crush you.

Anthony Richardson stats look terrible, but between offensive line, tight end and injury issues, he has little chance to succeed.

Anthony Richardson on pace for 350 rushing yards on 30 carries. But the Lions will likely run a few plays so those numbers are slightly exaggerated.
