Haha, this is going to be a wild ride. I feel a gamble coming on for us.
Rest in Peace, Pacerfan

Out of the top 15 projected picks I would live with all players aside from
Love
Gallinari
McGee is a borderline pick for me.

So when Bird says he is confident of getting a good player with the 11th pick I think is is just implying that who ever we end up with (out of the top 15 or so players) we will get a good one.

Well I am still hoping for Westbrook or that Eric Gordon dropping to us and also us getting a late first round pick. I think there are a lot of good players to be picked in late first round such as CDR, and Mario Chalmers).

Last time Larry was "really confident" in a guy we were drafting was with Shawne Williams as someone mentioned. Those words may be the kiss of death.

lol. Not sure who pulled the trigger between Larry and Donnie on Stanko and Lorbak but I assume they were confident on those two as well.

I wouldn't really take anything Bird says right before the draft with a lot of confidence. Well, except that he thinks will get a really good player because we should.

I want Mike Green! Probably had one of the best interviews I've seen on Pacers.com, it's hard not to root for that guy. At the very least, he's better than Andre Owens, but I think he could be much more.

What about George Hill in the 2nd round?

DraftExpress' latest mock draft was just released and they have us taking George with the 41st. And Augustin with the 11th. I wouldn't mind George at all.

George Hill would be awesome for the Pacers to draft with pick #41, and I agree, Mike Green would be at least as good as Andre Owens-- and it's good to see that the Pacers brought in both guys for a workout. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we end up with one of these guys in training camp.
