So many variables, so little time.

With the NBA Draft fast approaching, the Pacers are still very much in pursuit of a point guard. Other than two Twitter-generated posts involving Oklahoma City's Eric Maynor and Chicago's Kirk Hinrich, the rumor mill is unusually quiet.

Still, the league-wide presumption is when the Pacers announce the No. 10 pick, they won't be introducing their own player but rather a prospect headed elsewhere.

With so much uncertainty within the top nine picks it's difficult to project who might be available when it's time for the Pacers to make the call.

"It's according to who's there," said team President Larry Bird. "There's some talent, no question about that. But we'd like to get someone that could step right in and play for us.

"This is a strange draft. They're all over the board. There's some big guys there that are pretty good, there's a few wings. Obviously we're looking for point guards and there's not a lot in the draft. If we do get a point guard it'd probably be a player or it could possibly be our pick. There's a lot of things on the board we're looking at."

And the Pacers' options will depend upon how the dominoes fall in front of them.
