Sorry for the short lead time, but the Pacers newest acquisition will be chatting live with fans today at 4:30. Click here to join in or follow along.
Earl Watson, a point guard with eight years of NBA experience in Seattle, Memphis, Denver and Oklahoma City, was officially introduced today by Larry Bird.
Said Larry Legend:
“We’re very glad to have Earl as part of our team,” said Pacers President of Basketball Larry Bird. “I’ve been watching him for years. He’s a solid point guard that we know can help us on the defensive end.”
Much like most of the other Pacer moves this summer, Watson isn’t anything to be overly excited about, but aside from some reported differences of opinion on playing time last season, he has always had a sterling reputation as a great teammate. Plus he plays defense and is definitely a servicable floor general who Jim O’Brien should be able to trust even in a starting role during those inevitable stretches when TJ Ford is hampered by injury.
