Jamont Gordon (All Undrafted Guys)

[Crossova21]

He didn't get drafted and was considered and early to mid 2nd round pick. Any chance he'll be in a Pacers uniform?

Hey, I think there are a number of guys like this, so I'm going to sticky it and open it up...hope ya don't mind.

First...at present, we've got 16 guys under contract, so I don't think there's a huge chance of anybody making it, but I've got three names to throw in the hat:

Mike Green, Butler
Stanley Burrell, Xavier
Robert Vaden, UAB (?)

I say give 'em a look.

[Scoot McGroot]

Vaden withdrew from the draft.

[mizzoupacers]

PG: Ford, Jack, Diener (and Tinsley is still under contract)
SG: Dunleavy, B. Rush, Daniels
SF: Granger, Williams, Graham (and all three of the SGs could probably play here too)
PF: Murphy, Baston, McRoberts
C: Foster, Nesterovic, Hibbert

To me, that looks like a pretty tough roster for an undrafted free agent to crack. Mayyyyybe there is a sliver of daylight for a backup power forward to play his way onto the team. But that's about it.

Granted, the Pacers may not be done making moves this summer. In fact, I expect something else to happen (beyond what now looks like an inevitable buyout of Tinsley). That could free a spot up.

But really, what we need now is not role-playing backups, but more firepower at the top--a better starting five. The undrafted free-agent pool is a pretty unpromising place to look for what we need.

Vaden withdrew from the draft.

Details, details.

I don't know of any player whom went undrafted but could be a big help. Like Mizzou mentioned, we need firepower and undrafted players usually don't provide much of that hence why they are undrafted. If we were looking for D off the bench, the pool of the undrafted might be a place to look but otherwise, I don't see much help there.

Normally, I'd be clamoring for us to sign someone, but this might be the deepest Pacer team in years. I see us making a two or three for one trade soon to get some of our body count down.

Here are two guys I really like:

Mike Green, Butler (reminds me of poor man's Jarrett Jack)

DeMarcus Nelson, Duke

[artichokes]

GARY FORBES!

[CableKC]

We just need a PF that can score in the Low-Post. Every other position is covered. What decent PF is left that didn't get drafted?

[fdefore]

Xavier's Josh Duncan is still out there. He's a PF but more in the vein of Murphy.

[artichokes]

Chris "Teddy" Daniels from Texas A&M Corpus Christie could be a good replacement for the Hulk as "the Project".

Also, Pat Calathes really fits our style of play to a T. He could be Jeff Foster, the sequal, with ore offense.

Good call on Pat Calathes. I really like him, and I'm a little surprised he didnt get drafted.

David Padgett from Louisville

[blaha112]

i really like Devon Jefferson from USC. if he could play the pf i'd say go for it, may only be a sf though... i really like him! he's gonna be a stud!

[pacershereiam]

when will we know about undrafted free agents? when can teams start to sign them? i know with the nfl it is right away.

[joew8302]

I really like Burrell. He is a hometown kid with the reputation of being a great perimiter defender. I think we should give him a look.

[artichokes]

Oh, and no one mentioned CHRIS LOFTON yet?

[Scoot McGroot]

I think Lofton is under-rated, but I just don't see us having room for him. I think we need the most help in the post, not on the perimeter.

[Scoot McGroot]

Mike Green was just picked up by the Cavaliers for their summer league team.


At least he's getting a shot.
