Last season, point guards Jarrett Jack and T.J. Ford got into a little fight/argument or whatever you want to call it during halftime of game that the Pacers went on to win. Everyone knew a decision had to be made as far as which guard will the Pacers keep and which guard the Pacers will let walk. The verdict is in and Ford will remain in Indiana while Jack is on his way to Ford’s former team, the Toronto Raptors. Jack averaged a career high 13.1 PPG last season with the Pacers and will be taking that average to Toronto where he’ll more than likely play the back-up role behind Jose Calderon. With Jack heading out of town, this move leaves the back-up role to be decided between veteran’s Jammal Tinsley, Travis Diener and rookie A.J. Price, unless of course the Pacers opt to sign another guard. Indiana hasn’t been too active this off-season. They turned heads by drafting Tyler Hansbrough with the 13th overall pick. At one point between the Finals and Draft, Hansbrough was projected to be a late first/early second round pick, but after working out and meeting with other scouts, his stock began to rise and the All-American forward from UNC found himself being a lottery pick after all. He’s one of the only true post-presences that the Pacers have and because of that, the rookie will probably see significant playing time right away. Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »
