2012 NBA Draft: Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers selected Miles Plumlee out of Duke University with their 1st round pick. Plumlee will look to develop his game while coming off the bench behind Roy Hibbert, David West, and Tyler Hansbrough. The Pacers like the physicality that Plumlee brings to the table and feel as though they can develop him over time so that he can become a solid role player. Plumlee is also from the state of Indiana.

Orlando Johnson was also acquired on draft night. Pacers' management hopes that Johnson will be able to score from distance, while providing defensive toughness. He will likely not see much action behind Paul George, and Lance Stephenson

OFF-SEASON TRADES

The Pacers made one off-season trade. They traded Gerald Green, and Ian Mahinmi to the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for DeSagana Diop. Pacers' management stated that the deal was made for financial reasons. They made sure to mention how much they appreciated how hard Green played during his time with the Pacers and that they wished them both the best of luck going forward. Diop will likely not see much action playing behind Roy Hibbert, David West, and Tyler Hansbrough.
