Rolle makes strong first impression on O'Brien By Conrad

Paul George had the highlight plays of Friday's scrimmage – a steal leading to a 360 slam and a sweet step-back jumper from the top of the key as the shot-clock buzzer sounded – but second-round pick Magnum Rolle has been the star of the show in Coach Jim O'Brien's eyes through two days of the Pacers' rookie and free agent camp at Conseco Fieldhouse.
"He's by far I think been the best player in camp by a large margin," said O'Brien. " … He has dominated everything. He has scored, he has rebounded, he has defended well. He has a surprisingly high basketball IQ. I was a little concerned coming from kind of a mid-major where he'd be from a standpoint of picking things up but he's been fantastic.
