As for PGs I believe you're spot on. Wesley Johnson could easily shift to a SG in the NBA, and Xavier Henry looks very promising also, so all could not be lost.

Im surprised no one has brought up how much the team is turning into the Old Pacers that Larry Bird coached.

Rik Smits was a large and I mean large man who had a nice offensive game with good defense but was considered by many soft. Sound a lot like Roy Hibbert to me.

Dale Davis was a bruiser that would srcap for every ball with no regard to his well being. Again sounds a lot like Tyler Hansbrough.

Jalen Rose had a smooth and versatile game specifically good from 3pt range and could play several positions. Anyone one else see Danny Granger here.

Reggie Miller was an offensive Bad ass that could carry the load offensively and had a huge Basketball IQ. We are still looking for him.

Marck Jackson was a true point gaurd who made a living getting assists. I thought TJ might have bee that guy, but it looks like we are still looking.

FYI I think Kevin Martin would be a perfect Reggie spot.

I JUST thought of that and made a thread about it. I think we should seriously look at getting him. 11-12 million per isn't bad for a player of his caliber.

If the Pacers can turn a Josh Wall into an Evan Turner and Kain Lucas picks, then I'd be all for it.
