Why are the Indiana pacers a bad team?

Answer 1

Jerk, that's why they made the playoffs. They are not bad, they are just young. Collison, Hansbrough, and Hibbert will be solid veterans along with the rookie Paul George. They need to use their bench more. Brandon Rush has to have a good 2012 season or he will be shipped. Granger needs big numbers again this year. They are weak at the Power Foward position and need to draft an athletic big man. They will have an interesting future under Vogel. If they go into the draft with a first-rounder, look for them to draft Tristen Thompson out of Texas. They need his height and athleticism. If they don't go PF, they should go SG. Shelvin Mack from Butler would fit in, but look for them to draft either Scotty Hopson from Tennessee, LaceDarious Dunn from Baylor, or David Lighty from Ohio State. Give them a few years and they should be in great shape.

Oh, and another thing. Rumor has it that on draft day Granger will be shipped to Golden State in a deal for Steph Curry. False. Even though it wouldn't suprise me if it happens, but they need height. Let the draft take care of their SG position. They don't need to trade for the position. Pacers are deep in their bench at point guard position, with Dhantay Jones and a forgotten T.J Ford. Even though Rush is a good sixth man, they need a player who can give them a true spark. Someone like Lamar Odom. Yes i prefer youth over experience but when you look at it, Granger was the only pacer who has made the playoffs before in a pacer uniform when they played the bulls. Speaking of that series, They played super well, Even though they lost 4-1, they played with toughness. If they had that one player who can be a X-factor, they could've easily won that series. All in all, Pacers should be strong in a couple of years under Vogal. (Knock on wood).
