Rolle makes strong first impression on O'Brien By Conrad

Paul George had the highlight plays of Friday's scrimmage – a steal leading to a 360 slam and a sweet step-back jumper from the top of the key as the shot-clock buzzer sounded – but second-round pick Magnum Rolle has been the star of the show in Coach Jim O'Brien's eyes through two days of the Pacers' rookie and free agent camp at Conseco Fieldhouse.

"He's by far I think been the best player in camp by a large margin," said O'Brien. " … He has dominated everything. He has scored, he has rebounded, he has defended well. He has a surprisingly high basketball IQ. I was a little concerned coming from kind of a mid-major where he'd be from a standpoint of picking things up but he's been fantastic.


It would be reassuring if we got a steal in the draft. We need some more quality big men. Hopefully this isnt a fluke. Based off the fact that this is JOB's opinion..... :roll:

I don't know how to take it because its Jim "My coaching makes as much sense as Ron Artest" O'Brien making the comment, but I love the buzz surrounding our draft class. I like the analogy that Bird stopped trying to hit singles and finally went for extra bases. Now if we can get him on the same page as far as Free Agency is concerned we'd be a contender. Instead we're considering..... JORDAN.. :o .... FARMAR.... :roll:
