About The Indiana Pacers
At Number 10 in the 2010 NBA draft, the Pacers need to find a player to add some defense or athleticism to a roster stacked with jump shooters. It appears this is the one lottery pick outside of the top two. Ed Davis, the 6-10 super athlete out of UNC, is the critics choice here.
Davis is an athletic freak, but his game lacks just about any polish. In two years he failed to standout for the Tar Heels. Luckily, he is a lefty, so his offensive hiccups will be mitigated by the difficulty in players ability to adjust to such a rare quality in the NBA. Of course, Davis needs to add muscle to his frame. Until then, he is likely going to make highlight films with weakside blocks and put back dunks.
The Pacers may be able to bring in some young talent by marketing their expiring contracts. Ideally this would mean getting rid of T.J. Ford, Troy Murphy, or Mike Dunleavy. Losing Murphy and Dunleavy is not something fans will celebrate, but these outside shooters are making eight figures while playing seven figure basketball.
During the 2009 NBA draft, the team drafted some good players who are showing a lot of potential in making the team strong. Tyler Hansborough and A.J. Price, fresh out of college should provide the energy and motivation that the team needs to go all the way. Indiana Pacers ticket holders are also going to be graced with Dahntay Jones who was signed to a 4 year deal and Solomon Jones to a 2 year deal. Earl Watson was also signed to a 1 year deal and the Indiana Pacers were finally able to complete the buyout of Jamaal Tinsley.
