Ike Anigbogu’s potential is tantalizing if he can just get healthy once again, and that’s what the Indiana Pacers are counting on.
Indiana gambled with their second-round pick when they selected Anigbogu out of UCLA, knowing his right knee is an issue and one big enough to drop him out of the first round and to the Pacers with the 47th pick.
If his knee doesn’t hold him back he’ll become the Pacers defensive specialist coming off the bench — à la Kevin Seraphin or Lavoy Allen. Funnily enough, Indiana cut both this offseason to make room in a crowded front court for Anigbogu.
