He was drafted by the Indiana Pacers, but it was maturation in the NBA, that really made him a star. His college numbers - 15.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.4 assists on 44.7% shooting in 33.9 minutes - don't jump off the board. Fortunately, what he had going for him was a huge wingspan, the defensive skills and the ideal height for the modern playing style of the league.

Since their inception in 1992, the Bulldogs have only played six appearances in the NCAA tournament for a record of 2-5, with their most recent appearance being in 2016 - round of 64. PG-13's value and status in the league. Needn't be spoken about, he's one of the top 15 players in the league right now. More importantly, he is to become a free agent in the upcoming summer.
