I think the Pacers make it.

We have Memphis and Brooklyn has Charlotte. One of those games is definitely more favorable than the other.

Brooklyn has Orlando... even worse. 

[KingPG21 6,587]

I really hope there is a good center prospect on the board when we draft, don't know how much more Hibbert and Mahimni I can take.

As long as it isn't Myles Turner. Probably more likely we look for West's eventual replacement anyways

your right, my bad. It doesn't look good for us anyway.

Charlie! Is this a new leaf you're turning? I had to do a double take. Some positivity! Congrats my friend! ;)

Do you think West and Hibbert are gone after this year?  I've not seen much of the Pacers being here in Wyoming compared to Nebraska, but when I've been home in Indiana I try to catch them.  Is there still cohesion issues it seems?   I know when they core guys, or I guess the starters for the last 2 years NOT including this one gel, they're awfully damn good.

Lyles?

Lyles?

Haven't seen enough. I know some fans really like him. Kind of undersized, though he has a great wing span. Not the greatest athlete, which we need more athleticism in the front court desparately

Probably. West isn't going to get anywhere close to 12.6 next year. Probably same with Hibbert, though I hope he doesn't opt out and we give him a second max. That would be beyond dumb

He's 6'10. I think he is an interesting prospect because he is more athletic than West, but still has the mid range game. It looks like he would be around for when we pick too.

I looked it up after posting. Maybe it was because he was always out there with KAT and WCS. But he looked shorter than 6'10. I know Draftexpress has him at 19 right now.

I would like to see him on the floor without 2 of the best big guys in America with him. I wonder if he can play the bruising defensive style that Vogel likes down low.

[KingPG21 6,587]

I actually really like Looney. He is really raw offensively...... which sucks because we already lack offensive play makers. But he gets rebounds, which is still an issue, and already fits our mold defensively

[Crimson and Cream 5,847]

Oladipo's dropping a 50 bomb on Brooklyn tonight, it won't even matter if we beat Memphis.

[KingPG21 6,587]

Kris Dunn is the other guy I really like. Lots of upside, while he already produces. Pretty good comeback story with his shoulder surgeries

[Crimson and Cream 5,847]

I would be stoked with Dunn or Grant from ND

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

Lyles = Carlos Boozer imo, I would love for WCS to drop to us but I doubt he will. Looney isn't a bad choice either. I'd love to get Grant, I think he and Hill could play together.

I saw someone tweet today that Lance Stephenson had the lowest 3pt% (min. 100 attempts) of all time.

What a waste of talent. I think it's pretty clear he was the reason the Pacers collapsed last season. He made a horrible decision signing with the Hornets and he richly deserves to be where he is now.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this summers free agent class loaded?
