Why havent we heard from Stephensen, Are we keeping him? 

Post#1 » by greenway84 » Mon Jun 28, 2010 6:52 pm

Im just curious why we havent seen the typical photos, conference, mini interviews, and meet the fan type stuff they do with all their picks. With the exception of Euro stashed players. Makes me think we arent keeping him or magnum, maybe using them as trade incentive. Anyways I just find it odd that we havent heard ANYTHING about them.

we have summer league games starting a week from today. that's hard to believe but that's what the summer. usually we have a rookie camp here first but I've seen no mention of one. I'll see if I can't get some information. assuming we do have a camp coming up, look for the interviews then.

All three of our picks were working out together the other day.

I guess what Im saying is if we intended on keeping either of them, then why havent they done the normalsame as every year) routines. George already has, I dont see why if weare keeping the other 2 why we havent done all then fan "bonding" like George has, and players in the past have. maybe im looking into too much

The last 2nd rounder that was introduced to the press on or shortly after draft night was James White.


Enough said. The 2nd rounders don't have guaranteed contracts, and I just don't think the Pacers want to let the cart get before the horse. Let him just show that he has his head on straight and that his talent will equate, and he'll get his spot, somehow.

I don't have the direct link, but I follow Paul George on Twitter and he mentioned "getting a run in" and "doing work with my mans Lance and Magnum."

Also, I think you should remember Bird tried to buy numerous picks just to draft Lance. He thinks highly of him, so I don't think you should worry about him making the team.
