The Pacers are yet another team that believes this is one of the deepest drafts in recent memory and are attempting to secure an additional first round pick.

"There's going to be a heck of a player at 11, a guy that can help us, no question about that," Bird said Thursday. "We've talked to a number of teams about different scenarios, and we've got some things in the works.

"If we can get another pick, it'd be just great. . . . We'd like to have another pick in this draft, and that's what we're trying to get right now."
