IC Cold Links: Pacers All Show Up For Day Two, Rookies Settling In Nicely

The best news from day two of training camp for the Indiana Pacers was that all 17 players hit the floor ready to play and finished practice without any reported injuries. That crushed my over/under of 15 1/2 players making it for day two. I guess I can stop worrying about the lingering injuries of the offseason.

There were plenty of "camp legs" though, as Bruno's scrimmage video reveals, with shots short and long as players worked through losing the bounce in their legs after a long first day. Mike Wells offers up a little more on the scrimmage portion of practice in which the rookies showed up quite well as they ran together with James Posey and Jeff Foster.

Paul George may end up playing more than I expected if he can keep sticking out defensively as he has on the first two days. Both George and Magnum Rolle with his activity on the glass, give the Pacers something they lack in the dirty work area.

Check out the links after the jump with stories on Mike Dunleavy, and more notes from day two including Brandon Rush awaiting word on the team picking up his fourth-year option. This is an interesting topic which is more complicated than it appears on the surface and may not be resolved until the last second of deadline day on October 31st.

the second half of the second srimmage video was dominated by Paul George

I have to admit I had doubts about him, but just seeing his style of play in the last minutes of the scrimmage, He took Danny Granger to school on a couple of plays, that’s coming from a rookie. In the second game, the second unit was much more active, starting with George, he took it to the rim and passed it off for a easy two, very impressive. On the defensive end, he has a very good sense of the passing lanes, with his long frame, he will definitely be a force to be reckon with defensively. As of right now, Paul needs to start, Dunleavy should be the sixth man adding another facilitator to the second unit. maybe be early, but Paul George is everything we had hope out of Brandon Rush.

Coudn't agree more...

I think Paul George is going to be a solid player for the Pacers.On another note I think Solo is looking pretty darn good in camp so far.

Nothing on Lance? Hopefully he isn’t playing bad. The way things are going for him, he really needs to shine on the floor. It’s only practice though.

Mike Wells said that Lance is a strong player who is crafty with the ball but needs to work on his defense.

McBob

I’ve got to say, judging strictly from these snippets of scrimmage highlights, McBob isn’t making a fool of himself. He’s crashing the boards and offering those elements of “energy” and “athleticism” that OB wants. Two years ago I would have scoffed at McBob’s prospects as a relevant NBA player, but he’s shown quite a bit of development. Time will tell if he’s really starting material, but I see him being at the very least a nice role player in the NBA over the next several years. I love it when Pacer players prove me wrong.
