Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

George Highlights Day Two As Pacers' Summer Camp Gets Rolle-in'

Nothing but glowing reports from the Fieldhouse on Friday day two of the Indiana Pacers summer camp practices.

Bruno has it all covered in his report on the day, in which Jim O'Brien can't say enough nice things about Magnum Rolle, the Pacers' late second round acquisition who has proven to be a potential diamond in the rough teams are looking for late in the second round.

Rolle's age certainly played a part in his draft stock remaining low since he is a year older than Josh McRoberts. But whether he's 20, 24 or 28, Rolle's still long and athletic and could add some versatility to the Pacers' front court if he keeps developing and secures a spot on the roster. Although, such lofty praise from JOB has me suspicious. Maybe the coach is just trying to keep the embers burning under McRoberts. Just another interesting angle to look for in next week's games down in Orlando.

First round pick, Paul George definitely provided the eye candy from today's scrimmage and also earned some positive words from JOB for his effort in the scrimmage. The Pacers.com video after the jump has extensive highlights from the scrimmage. George's steal and 360 dunk at about the 3:10 mark and his contested step-back jumper to beat the shot clock at around the 5:30 mark should be classified as summer league porn.

Bad news of the day is that Lance Stephenson didn't survive day one, sitting out Friday with a foot injury. Really hope Born Ready is, well, ready to play in Orlando. Also after the jump, a few more links of interest from camp and around the NBA.

it looks like O’brien is trying to make Mcroberts into the next Troy Murphy.

1 Year Offer for a PG!

Pacers management is stupid! They are responsible for screwing up the PG position – Sarunas, Tinsley, Jack, 2009 draft (no PG drafted in 1st round), Ford, and (probably) Watson – all mishandled! Now (apparently) trying to make up for it on the cheap with a measly 1 year contract… I swear my sh*t has a higher IQ than all of them put together!

Dumb and Dumberer for the Cap Impact!

If whoever they get for a 1 year contract works out, then the P’s will have to pay more to keep him, or let him go (like with Jack and likely Watson)… I swear these idiots never learn… Isn’t doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different result the very definition of insanity!?!!??

Bird would resign if...

He were half the man he used to be rather than a big fat stupid drunken has-been!
