Pacers Draftees

First round, 17th pick: Danny Granger, New Mexico

Second round, 46th pick: Erazem Lorbek, Lithuania

I like both picks. Granger is a 6-8 small forward, with four years of college and solid all-around stats. He will contribute immediately, backing up Ron Artest and stepping in should Artest be suspended for another season.

I don't know much about Lorbek, except that he is a reputible international player who also played a year at Michigan State. I think he's a safe mid-second round pick who could have a lot of potential.
