Pacers now have hope, direction

The Pacers are going to lose a lot of games next season, but they definitely have some pieces in place now that can at least give fans a hope. A true back to the basket center with the skill that Roy Hibbert has is definitely going to something interesting to watch. He’s a rare breed in today’s NBA. It shouldn’t take him long before he’s able to force double teams and he has the potential to become a very good offensively player. Though slow, he already seems to posses post moves and appears to be used to his long body. Players that are 7-2 with the skill that Hibbert has shown don’t tend to stay in college as long as he did and that might have been the best move of his career so far. The addition of T.J. Ford at point guard gives the team someone that can handle the load of playing the one spot right away, but Jarett Jack isn’t a just a throw-in. He’s a physical point guard that, with time, could present matchup problems with his physical nature. He’s in the mold of Chauncey Billiups. The Pacers have a future.
