Indiana Pacers draft Jawai at #41

Its not a perfect destination for him, since he will be behind both O'Neal and Bosh, but at least they are both lighter, finesse players. Jawai is the one guy on their roster who has bulk and strength to offer against some of the bigger players like Shaq, Oden, Haywood, etc.

He probably would have had a better chance with the Pacers, where he would be backing up fellow draftee Hibbert, but thats life.

At least it looks like he will spend time with the Raptors and learn a thing or two from O'Neal and Bosh. O'Neal may move on in two years anyway, if the Raptors decide he is asking too much to be extended. Jawai might then be in a good position to seize the starting spot next to Bosh, who he would compliment well.

Good news for Aussie basketball that he was drafted anyway. Congrats to the big fella!
