Ike Diogu
This will be the first work out of the off season for the Pacers. With the Bender trade rumors and us not working out anyone, I thought the deal was almost finished. Now, since we've worked out a player who should be picked around the 17, it seems as if the chances for the trade are less likely.
Draftcity has Ike at 15
NBADraft has Diogu at 21
I don't really want a PF with our large amount of big men and lack aof depth at the 2/3, but if the confidence in Croshere is going down, then Ike could turn out to be a nice backup for Jermaine O'Neal. I've been reading very nice things about him.
