So far, Pacers' Media Day has centered mostly on Paul George: the aspiring MVP and position transitioner. And rightfully so, a healthy George is far and away the best player on the team. As he goes, the team goes as last season's injury-riddled descent demonstrated.
But along the way, a few media members peppered in some questions about rookies Joeseph Young and Myles Turner. Frank Vogel and Co. reiterated what they've been stating for months now: the rooks will play:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Playing Turner and Young early as rotational guys will lead to tough nights early but Vogel thinks will help down the line.</p>— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) <a href="https://twitter.com/CandaceDBuckner/status/648509979943571457">September 28, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
And if you're wondering whether or not Turner's and Young's teammates share a similar confidence in their abilities, wonder no more:
