The Pacers are likely going to be one of the most active teams in tomorrow night’s NBA Draft. The Pacers hold the #10, #40 and #57 picks in the NBA Draft and they are looking to make a deal. The Pacers are looking for a legit point guard and they are likely to offer the #10 overall pick and maybe more to get one. Darren Collison and Jonny Flynn are rumored names of guys they are after. Troy Murphy, Brandon Rush and Mike Dunleavy will also be likely available for trade tomorrow. Besides a point guard the Pacers should be after offensive players who can give Danny Granger some support.

The Indiana Pacers have acquired the 57th overall pick (2nd round) of the NBA Draft later this month from the Mavs to complete the Eddie Jones and Shawne Williams trade. Players can be found in the 2nd round so the Pacers need to do their homework on this one. The Pacers need all of the help that they can get.

The Pacers selected 22-year old point guard A.J. Price with the 52nd pick of the NBA Draft. Price’s addition likely means that the Pacers will attempt to trade T.J. Ford. Price would then back up Jarrett Jack at point guard. Price played in 99 games in three seasons at UConn and he averaged 13.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. This was a solid pick for the Pacers as Price has a decent future in the NBA.

The Indiana Pacers took the best player in college basketball with the 13th pick of the NBA Draft last night. 23-year old power forward Tyler Hansbrough does everything in his power to win basketball games and that’s likely what drew Larry Bird to draft him. Hansbrough played in 141 games in his four seasons at North Carolina and he averaged 20.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Look for Hansbrough to be given every chance to win a starting job for the Pacers in 2009-2010. The kid is a winner so expect him to help bring a new attitude to Indiana Pacers’ basketball.

The Pacers acquired 7′2″, 278 pound center Roy Hibbert out of Georgetown in the big Jermaine O’Neal trade last night. Hibbert gives the Pacers a talented big man who will likely be the starting center of the future for them. Hibbert played in 136 games (121 starts) for Georgetown and he averaged 10.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.9 blocked shots per game. He has the skills to score more points as the Hoyas ran a big time slow down game on offense. He has a bright future.
