Former Indiana Pacers' assistant, Mike Brown may have found his new home...in Los Angeles.  Reports indicated Brown will become the next head coach of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.  Brown has always been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Pacers head coach vacancy, but this won't be the case anymore.  Coach Frank Vogel has always been the front runner, but maybe this clears things up even more?

Mock drafts are all over the place with who the Pacers are targeting, but things should be narrowed down starting tomorrow as the first batch of potential draftees come to Conseco Fieldhouse.  There are a couple bigs, including Purdue's JuJuan Johnson and the rest combo/point guards.  Look for further analysis of these workouts tomorrow or Friday.
