2 David Teague G 6-5 196 6/4/83 AEL (Greece)/Purdue
4 Shawne Williams F 6-9 225 2/16/86 Indiana (NBA)/Memphis


facing off against the Artist formerly known as the Sonics:

Russell Westbrook G 6-3 190 11/12/88 UCLA
2 Devin Green F 6-7 210 10/25/82 Hampton/Italy
3 D.J. White F 6-9 250 8/31/86 Indiana
5 Mykal Riley F 6-6 185 7/14/85 Alabama
8 Ndudi Ebi F 6-9 200 6/18/84 Israel/Westbury Christian HS (TX)
11 Aaron Bruce G 6-3 185 12/19/84 Baylor
12 Ronald Dupree F 6-7 210 1/26/81 Sonics/Det/NBDL/Louisiana State
22 Jeff Green F 6-9 235 8/28/86 Sonics (NBA)/Georgetown
23 Ronell Taylor G 6-5 200 7/26/82 Slovenia/Alabama-Birm
30 Justin Williams F/C 6-10 260 5/12/84 Sac (NBA)/Houston (NBA)/Wyoming
42 Brian Randle F 6-8 220 2/8/85 Illinois
44 Nick Lewis F/C 6-10 235 4/20/83 San Diego (NBDL)
50 DeVon Hardin C 6-11 250 6/3/86 California


The Pacers are represented by returning players Shawne Williams and Stephen Graham, along with a collection of players who are likely either training camp fodder or are hoping that somebody else notices them in the league, given the fact that the Pacers will have 16 players under contract.

Oklahoma City features the #4 pick Russell Westbrook, along with Hoosier alum DJ White, acquired in a draft day trade with Detroit. Second year player Jeff Green is also on the roster, along with 2nd round draft pick DeVon Hardin.

Regrettably, for the Pacer faithful, there will be none of their Draft Day acquisitions, as Brandon Rush, Roy HIbbert, and Josh McRoberts will not be officially members of the Pacers until later this week. (Neither will TJ Ford or Jarrett Jack, but it's highly unlikely they would've played in the Summer League in any case.)

Head coach Jim O'Brien is listed as having the helm this summer, which is a departure from last year, when Lester Conner took the #1 seat. The Sonics head coach, PJ Carlesimo, has left this duty to his assitants.

The games are normally webcast from the Orlando Magic Summer League website and start at 3 pm today.

Gooooooooo! Faux Pacers!!!!!!!!!

I hope the Faux Pacers kick the ever-living crap out of the Formerly Sonics!!!

I harbor a burning resentment toward Oklahoma City for stealing the team that should have been St. Louis's. Those damn Okies already have the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, what the hell more do they need?!?

I'm going to take it as a positive development that Shawne and O'Bie are joining forces in the summer league. I think this is a good sign from Williams that he wants to stay with the team and a good sign from O'Brien that he wants to work with Williams.

So far so good from Williams. I think he may he serious when he said he wanted to thicken the ice. He's playing well and looks like he's been working hard.

Earl is showing some quickness and speed. His shot has really improved since Indiana.

No. Technically, neither of them is a Pacer yet.
