Re: Is there anyone on ISH who approves of the Pacers choosing Miles Plumlee?
It was kinda head scratching but at #26 it really doesn't matter.
I'm guessing they are looking for a tough big that will go hard/goon for 10-15 minutes(Hansbrough?) and he'll probably be a better contributer to the team than someone else who will probably be buried on the bench.

playing devil's advocate, why not take a chance on a huge, athletic center? it was the late first round, not like there was a ton of talent left on the board. he might develop into a good rebounder who can bang with dudes down low

pretty much this. If they can get a 10-15 solid minutes a night from him where he's hustling, banging down low, rebounding, etc, than it's a good pick.
Unless you get lucky and draft a gem most of those guys around that pick aren't going to be anything special. No sleep will be lost.
