My Take
Danny Granger's career feels like a story of a brilliant peak shadowed by what could have been. Out of New Orleans and New Mexico, he became Indiana's franchise scorer, and that 2009 season, 26 points a game, an All-Star nod, and Most Improved Player, is the kind of leap that puts a player on a superstar trajectory. Injuries kept him from sustaining it, and the Pacers eventually pivoted to Paul George. But for one season Granger was genuinely one of the league's best wings. I always think of him as proof that timing and health decide as much as talent in the NBA.
