ESPN has an article making a Prep Basketball Tourney using players hometowns, and they had the audicity to leave out Indianapolis. Now I know this doesn't fit the subject of the blog, but I felt they were making a big mistake and wanted to bring it to the attention of fellow Hoosiers.

Former Pacer Jonathan Bender, at 27 years old, is helping rebuild low-income housing in post-Katrina New Orleans. Hat-tip to Arsenalist for the original link.

The Pacers brought in another point guard prospect (Sean SIngletary from Virginia) and a big (Marreese Speights from Florida) to workout. Chris Douglas-Roberts from Memphis had to cancel and plans to come in later.

The Pacers brought in a fresh batch of draft prospects Monday, including George Hill from Broad Ripple High and IUPUI. KU standout and Kareem's younger brother, Brandon Rush was also in. Video interviews for both guys are available.

Ryan Anderson (Cal), Pat Calathes (St. Joe's), and Jonathan Wallace (Georgetown) were also in on Monday. Anderson is an intruiguing player that would be a nice fit with JOB's system but he'll probably be gone by the 41st pick.

This story offers some background information on DJ Augustin that will have you rooting for the kid whether he ends up with the Pacers or not.
