I think he's a shoo-in to make the team. From the look of big Al Jefferson's play, he may be Georges' best bet to find some minutes. Al doesn't seem to have much stamina anymore (not that he ever did..), and get tired quickly. If the Pacers play up-tempo, it's possible Georges could find an opportunity there. Myles Turner looks to be an absolute stud.

Yeah, I think he's a virtual lock to make the roster. But finding minutes is going to be tough. He'll have to leapfrog a few other bigs already in the rotation to get anything other than spot duty and garbage time. It's hard to say where he fits because Indy has sort of a weird roster. PG is an All NBA type player. Turner could be really good but they don't know if he can extend his range all the way out to the three point line yet. Other than those two they have kind of a mishmash of guys who do one or two things well but have gaping holes somewhere else in their game. McMillan is going to have to experiment a lot early on to find his best lineups.
