Scout's Take

On the draft-day moves of the Pacers, who used a pair of trades to add seven players while unloading the contract of center Jermaine O'Neal:

"One of their biggest issues was point guard, and they got not only a starter in T.J. Ford but a solid backup in Jarrett Jack. They got more shooting, with [13th overall pick] Brandon Rush, and they now have two big centers in [Rasho] Nesterovic and [17th pick Roy] Hibbert, though I'm interested to see how a slow guy like Hibbert is able to play with T.J. (right). They lose O'Neal's post-up game, but that's not a big part of what [coach] Jim O'Brien likes to do anyway, and he'll still find ways to get Danny Granger the ball [down low]."
