The NBA Summer League season is underway in Orlando, Florida and Las Vegas, Nevada. The Indiana Pacers summer league squad will be playing in Orlando.
The Pacers have a few holes they need to fill for the 2012-13 season, but hope to acquire those players via free agency. If they miss out on signing Courtney Lee, Elton Brand, or another player they have targeted, they could turn to a player on their summer league squad.
Miles Plumlee, Indiana’s 2012 first-round pick, has already made a (negative) first impression on former Indiana University basketball coach Dan Dakich. After watching Plumlee play in person, Dakich simply said, “He can’t play.”

The Suns went into last season as a bottom-of-the-barrel preseason pick. They were able to trade Luis Scola to Indiana for Gerald Green, Miles Plumlee and a first-round pick. That trade helped spark a winning season in Phoenix.
