Next on the clock is the Indiana Pacers. I have no clue what they are doing this offseason, because it looks as if they are making their move next summer (Only 15 mil [Granger and Jones] commited for 2011-12. So who they draft is probably another BPA, outside the 2-3 probably. Ill take Ed Davis, who I really think is going to be an underrated player in this draft.

Roster: Troy Murphy (F), Danny Granger (G-F), Mike Dunleavy (G-F), TJ Ford (G), Jeff Foster (F-C), Dahntay Jones (G), Brandon Rush (G), Solomon Jones (F-C), Roy Hibbert (C), Tyler Hansborough* (F), Josh McRoberts* (F), AJ Price* (G).



# 1 - John Wall with 72%




# 2 - Evan Turner with 88%



# 3 - Derrick Favors (Johnson) with 54%




# 4 -Demarcus Cousins with 52%




# 5 -Wesley Johnson with 32%




# 6 - Al-Fahrouq Aminu with 36%




# 7 - Greg Monroe with 41%

Mock Draft Projections
Xavier Henry - NBADraft.net

Ed Davis - DraftExpress.com

Gordon Hayward - ESPN.com

(not updated!)Ekpe Udoh - HoopDoctors

Ekpe has been flying up draft boards since pro teams are taking notice to an ever improving offensive game to match an NBA ready defensive presence. Once thought of as only an elite shot blocker, he has worked hard on being able to now be at least a threat with the ball around the basket by being able to score with his back to the rim and hit a mid-range jumper. Very athletic and has tremendous heart. A bit older than earlier prospects but is not yet a finished product. Needs to add weight. Comparison: Brook Lopez

I have to go wth Udoh for Indiana. Most might disagree with me and point towards Bledsoe as the appropriate choice, but I can't ignore Udoh's defense and athleticism. He's still got a lot of room to grow on the offensive end also.

hayward or bledsoe

I've gotta go with Udoh

Udoh, I think he'll be great with Granger...

they love shooting bigs, and the next Bargnani would complement Roy Hibbert perfectly so..

I think this is where it gets really hard. Hayward and Udoh are good options. Henry and Bradley are also others that can help the team out, bot are also high upside picks. I'm going with Hayward.

Ed Davis

i think they'll take ed davis if hes still on the board then.. there far away from competing so i think they can afford to make a pick based on potential

Hayward best fits with the PAcers.

Ekpe Udoh, he reminds me of a more athletic and better defending version of Troy Murphy....

I think Eric Bledsoe should be added to the list:

1) They are working him out on Wed, June 2nd.
2) Their PG spot is a mess (Tried to trade TJ for Augstine and Price is out 4-6 weeks)

They need a point guard, but Bradley and Bledsoe are reaching at this pick. They should trade down to get one of them.

They'll probably end up taking Hayward though, in an effort to give attendance a boost (27th last year).
