[情報] Reggie Miller's Pacers Rumor
看到這個標題,不知道有多少人跟我一樣抖了一下。
我還以為神米要回本隊執教還是怎樣。
不過讓大家失望了。

This may have been mentioned somewhere. If so, please merge.
Reggie was on a draft show tonight on NBATV and was asked about the Pacers
pick.
The talk he's been hearing is that we're looking to trade either Ford or Jack
in order to draft a "point guard for the future".
This goes back to articles from Bird/O'Brien after the season ended. There's
been a lot of focus on us taking a big, but I think there's a legit chance we
take a PG and either a) trade Ford for a big or b) sign and trade Jack for a
big.
I also think it's intriguing we've worked out two PGs that have been
projected in the top 8. It sounds like we expect one of them to drop or we
are considering trading up. I suspect the former.
看來大家想得都一樣,去年的Bayless滑落事件麻煩重來一次。
Jrue Holiday or Brandon Jennings 請選擇!!!

然後今天Jennings and Maynor workout。
過水歐洲歷程 vs. 四年大學歷程
Thirty-six players down, six more to go.
Do we have any better idea of who the Pacers are going to draft than before
the workouts began?
We might. But I don't.
One of the players widely projected to the Pacers at No. 13, Brandon
Jennings, worked out today, which no doubt will fuel even more speculation
he's their guy.
If you're into such things, Jennings did appear to drop something of a hint.
Asked what range of teams he was working out for, Jennings said, "four
through eight."
Catching himself before the obvious follow-up question could be asked,
Jennings quickly added, "I worked out here just in case. You never know
what's going to happen in the draft.
"I just wanted to show the Pacers if they're looking for a point guard and
I'm still on the board, I would like to be taken."
Many experts believe that's exactly where they're looking. Jennings isn't one
to disagree.
"They're saying they are looking for a point guard," he said. "So, hopefully,
we'll see what happens."
Quick bio: Jennings was the national high school player of the year in
2007-08, averaging 35.5 points, 6.8 assists and 3.2 steals at Oak Hill
Academy. He signed with Arizona but encountered admissions difficulties and
opted to take the unprecedented step of turning pro in Europe instead,
signing with Lottomatica Roma (Italy).
(Quick aside: one of his teammates was none other than The Llama himself,
Primoz Brezec, who averaged 9.4 points and 4.4 rebounds)
Modest stats in Italy not a deterrent
He posted modest statistics (7.6 points, 1.6 assists) in 16 Euroleague games
but scouts weren't deterred because his team had other quality point guards
(including former hot prospect Sani Becirovic) and the coach played a tightly
controlled system that did not allow his open-court talents to flourish.
Larry Bird generally doesn't get too excited about teen-aged prospects but
Jennings' European experience, including the adjustment to a new culture,
makes him more advanced than most 19-year-olds.
I'm still not sure he'd fit with the Pacers because he seems a younger
version of T.J. Ford, but Jennings is one of the most intriguing prospects in
this draft because of his freakish athleticism and knack for the spectacular.
"A lot of the things I learned were off the court," Jennings said. "I learned
how to take care of my responsibilities, do things on time, be a responsible
adult.
"You really don't know how good you have it until you step out of your
boundaries and go to a different country or live in a different place. I'm
really thankful I'm an American."
Maynor believes he's "NBA-ready"
The other top point guard to visit Thursday was Eric Maynor of Virginia
Commonwealth, who offered an interesting contrast to Jennings in that he is a
proven four-year college performer who carried his program to national
prominence.
He has the requisite size (6-3, although a slender 165) and resume. The
two-time Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year was a big-game
standout, scoring 21 against UCLA in the NCAA Tournament this past March and
hitting the game-winning jumper to beat Duke in the first round his sophomore
year.
"I'm mature and I'm ready," he said. "I'm NBA-ready. I think, coming out of
school four years, I learned a lot."
In the weeks since, though he has fared well in workouts, he hasn't exactly
enjoyed the grueling process.
"It's a dream of mine to play in the NBA," he said, "but one thing that's not
a dream to do is ride in small planes and go from city to city and as soon as
you get off (the plane), you've got to go work out.
"But that's the price you've got to pay if you want to be a pro."
Hansbrough, Henderson in Friday
Two ACC standouts headline the final workout of the week Friday in Conseco
Fieldhouse, as North Carolina's Tyler Hansbrough and Duke's Gerald Henderson
will be evaluated by the Pacers' basketball staff.
Hansbrough, who averaged 20.7 points and 8.1 rebounds for the national
champions, has been climbing draft boards after exhibiting surprising
athleticism in workouts. The 6-4 Henderson, who averaged 16.5 points for the
Blue Devils, has been a popular mock-draft projection for the Pacers at No.
13.
Also due in are Cedric Jackson (Cleveland State), Kevin Rogers (Baylor),
Anthony Smith (Liberty) and Scott VanderMeer (Illinois-Chicago).
