ahb - there was a lot of pre-season hype over Jasikevicius. Even though he was 31 at the time and tried to join the league the previous season to no avail, mainly because of defensive concerns, he was all the rage. Every analyst who picked the Pacers cited him as one of the reasons. I never understood it. Winning that Euro tournament impressed everyone.

When you look at his stats he is not doing too bad but still a far cry from replacing R.Miller which is one of the real reasons why the Pacers are struggling. Losing that team leader has hurt the Pacers.

As everyone knows they also have had a ton of injuries. Jermaine O'Neal still does not look right.
