Indiana Pacers president Larry Bird joined NBA TV's summer league broadcast for an interview on Thursday, and he addressed Paul George's role on the team. He had previously said that next year's Pacers would play faster, and part of that might involve George shifting to power forward a bit. "He'll play a lot of the power forward and small forward and he might defend some 2s at times," Bird said. "Paul is going to play a lot of different positions for us this year. I'm the one that thinks he can play the 4 position. I think the mismatches on the offensive end is far greater than the defensive liabilities sometimes he'll have against the strength. But I think he can handle it. Paul's very versatile. He'll do anything that we ask him to do to try to win basketball games. And he wants to play uptempo. He likes to handle and pass and get out and run a little bit." Indiana's roster already looks extremely different than it has for the last few years because of the departures of Roy Hibbert and David West. You can pencil in George Hill and newcomer Monta Ellis as the starting guards, but it's unclear what will happen in the frontcourt. - See more at:http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...-paul-george-will-play-a-lot-of-power-forward
