Depth is generally considered to be Indiana's top trait as a team but guard Leandro Barbosa is a free agent and both emerging center Roy Hibbert and electric point guard George Hill are restricted free agents.Pacers basketball chief Larry Bird has a lot of decisions to make and will be looking to add to his depth with the 26th overall selection.
Bird, like most personnel people, feels you draft for talent and trade for need so he's likely to snare the best player on the board when it's his turn.Washington combo guard Tony Wroten, lengthy Baylor small forward Quincy Miller and Kentucky shooting guard Doron Lamb figure to be options.
