New summer league for NBA players(In Indiana)

On a recent Friday night, former Indiana Pacers Fred Jones and Eddie Gill teamed up again. Sporting red jerseys, they spearheaded their team to a 153-149 victory at Broad Ripple High School.

The game was part of the Knox Pro Train Summer League, an NBA-sanctioned weekend league for professional players.

Organized by former IUPUI player Carlos Knox, the league came about after Knox and Jones decided Indianapolis would be a good place for an organized summer league.

I wonder if this will help the Pacers in anyway. Maybe to coax some players to come to Indy.

I like the idea of the league, but I'm not following on how it could coax players (of any reasonable talent) to play for us.

Pretty cool story though.
