16 games into the season and the Indiana Pacers have solidified their position in mediocrity. The blame can be spread around as to why this team is 6-10 rather than 10-6, but you'll have some difficulty putting blame on forward Danny Granger. He is off to an all-star caliber season and I'm here to make the case why and hopefully open some eyes to the talent that can be forgotten in Hoosier Land.
Season | Team | G | GS | MPG | FG% | 3p% | FT% | OFF | DEF | RPG | APG | SPG | BPG | TO | PF | PPG |
| 08-09 | IND | 15 | 15 | 35.9 | 0.467 | 0.371 | 0.833 | 0.9 | 4.5 | 5.5 | 2.4 | 0.9 | 1.8 | 3.33 | 4.20 | 24.2 |
The two players following Danny below are Carmelo Anthony and Vince Carter. Both will undoubtedly make the all-star game this year.

Clearly, Danny’s numbers are clearly comparable, and if fans are wise, Danny will make the all-star game this year. Look for him to continue his impressive play this and beyond and make many all-star appearances as soon as the fans realize how talented Danny Granger is.
