What would we do in 2008?  Im sitting here bored at work the day before Thanksgiving, and thought it would be cool to check out last years draft.  Are we happy with the results???  Roy has us all giddy, Rush has been both sides of the coin, and Bayless (our original pick) hasnt done a darn thing.  Heck , Portland brought in Andre Miller this year to put in over him, lacking depth at the PG.  But being that PG is our most needed position, would it have been better to keep him?  Check it out

Im not one to htrow out outlandish trade scenarios, but when 3:30 comes it's usually "how can we get rid of Murphy" time.  Today I had some time to play with the trade Machine and look at some free agents.

Alright, Draft Day is right around the corner, and it is safe to say Indy has more than a few question marks going into the season.  Point guard and Power Forward seem to be the 2 biggest holes on the team and the positions most speculated about.  I have my own opinions on who and what we should do, what does everyone else think?  Who do YOU want to see bringing the ball up with the Pacers down 1 and 10 seconds left next year?

Am I the only one who feels like I am cheating on my girlfriend while I am falling in love watching this Bulls team?  It was not too long ago (about 2 months or so), that the Bulls were about equals of the Pacers, with a decently bright future, but not much else.  Now here they are with a great (?) point guard, scorers (Gordon and Salmons), Athletic (smart and not smart) big men, passing big men, defenders, shot blockers, and like Cornrows said recently, moving a notch up in the Central standings for years to come.

John Henson checks in with his online diary of coming to NY on www.slamonline.com

Some things I learned:

-He's not sure if he took a bus to NY in 7th grade

-He's gonna be more like Brandan Wright than Sean May

-There is abolutely no way he plays out his whole career at UNC, he will be 100% rented till whenever the NBA comes a calling

I will start out by saying I wish Mason Plumlee, going to Duke, was heading to Chapel Hill.  On that note, if I had to choose between him and super-recruit John Henson, give me Henson every single day.  I can't wait to see him next year. Last night there were 4 Mcdonalds All-Americans heading to North Carolina. 

From Rivals.com:

Henson:

John Henson - 14 points on 7-for-10 shooting, three rebounds, two blocks, one assist in 16 minutes

At times Henson was overmatched in the strength department, but he made some impressive plays with his length.

Wear Brothers:

Travis Wear - Six points on 3-for-5 shooting, one rebound, one steal, three assists, one turnover in 11 minutes

Wear had some nice interior passes.

David Wear - Zero points on 0-for-2 shooting, 0-for-1 from 3-point range, three rebounds, one assist, one turnover in 14 minutes

Wear struggled to get going offensively.

Strickland:

Dexter Strickland - Two points on 0-for-4 shooting, 0-for-2 from 3-point range, 2-for-2 from the line, four rebounds, one assist, one turnover in 15 minutes

Strickland struggled to make an impact in the game.

AlI have to say Henson reminded me alot of Brandan Wright.  Long, athletic, and looks really talented. (for the record, Wright would be a senior next year, Jeez).  Hensons ranked 6 nationally, Strickland 17, David Wear 68, Travis Wear 69.
