Summer Pacers Lose to Bulls

The Summer League Pacers dropped a game Tuesday night to the Summer League Bulls, 89-84. The Bulls played several players with NBA experience along with number one overall pick, Derrick Rose. Here's the box score and recap.

With the strong opposition, Lester Conner decided to tighten up his rotation and give the players making a push for a camp invite more time to show their stuff. This meant heavy doses of Earl Calloway at PG, Josh Davis, Courtney Sims up front, with at little Andre Emmett, Vlad Golubovic, and Aleks Maric sprinkled throughout.

Calloway stood out, again, finishing with an easy 20 points. He had a few bad turnovers in the first half, but overall played well. He's well on his way to earning an invite to the pre-season camp.

Shawne Williams and Stephen Graham played much like they did during last season. Flashes of nice plays, but don't seem to be unleash their game at full throttle. Especially, Shawne.

For summer league, the final three quarters of the game were pretty entertaining. The Pacers have the late game again tomorrow night against Michael Beasley and the Heat.

Earl

I always thought Earl had a game that suited the Pro game more than the college game when he was at IU. The only knock on him was whether or not his shooting would improve enough to justify a roster spot. From what I’ve read (I haven’t been able to catch a game yet) about his summer league performance it looks like he might be trying to force his way onto the Pacers. I believe that he could have a spot on this team but that depends on whether Deiner is back. I would not want to carry Ford, Deiner and Calloway on the roster but I think I would rather have Calloway and his speed than Deiner and his jumper.

Knocking down jumpers

remains an issue for Earl, at least from what I’ve seen in the SL games. I guess after watching Tinsley for so many years I’m used to it.
