Pacers Release 2012 Rookies/Free Agents Camp Roster

     Some of the names on this year's summer league roster probably look familiar to fans of the state's major college basketball programs with three former stars of their programs on the roster this year. Those three being; Ben Hansbrough (formally Notre Dame), Chris Kramer (formally Purdue), and Robert Vaden (formally IU) before trasferring to Alabama Birmingham. Yes you guessed it, Ben Hansbrough is related to current Pacers' forward Tyler Hansbrough. Ben is Tyler's younger brother.

     The roster also contains a couple of Pacers' veterans, Lance Stephenson and Jeff Pendergraph, both trying to improve their respective games. If you followed last year's Pacers training camp you'll recognize the names of Jarrid Famous, Tyren Johnson, and Matt Rogers as they were all at camp last December. A couple D league players will be joing the Pacers for camp as well, Matt Janning and Hamady Ndiaye. Undrafted free agent Reggie Hamilton out of Oakland University will being playing summer ball with the Pacers. After not being selected in the 2012 NBA draft, Hamilton will have a chacne to prove he belongs in this league.

      Rounding out this year's summer league roster is the Pacers' two 2012 draft picks Miles Plumlee (Duke) and Orlando Johnson (UC Santa Barbara). Plumlee, after being a controversial 1st round pick by the Pacers will be looking to prove that the Pacers indeed did make a good choice with their 26th overall pick. Johnson, the 36th overall pick in this year's draft, was orginally selected by the Sacramento Kings but was acquired by the Pacers through a draft night trade in exchange for cash.

      The Pacers will practice six times before leaving Sunday afternoon for Orlando. They begin Summer League play there Monday, July 9, against Detroit at 5:00 p.m. On Tuesday, July 10, the Pacers meet Oklahoma City at 1:00 p.m.; Wednesday, July 11, vs. Boston at 11:00 a.m.; Thursday, July 12, vs. Utah at 3:00 p.m. and Friday, July 13, vs. Brooklyn at 3:00 p.m.
