McRoberts Keeping the Pace

July 19, 2009

Posted by Dave Bradley under NBA Devils

Former Blue Devil Josh McRoberts recently agreed to a new two-year deal to remain with the Indianapolis Pacers.  Josh will be one of three Blue Devils drafted since 2002 on the Pacers next year, joining starter Mike Dunleavy and recently-signed Dahntay Jones.

Last year, in a reserve role with the Pacers, McRoberts averaged 2.4 PPG and 2.2 RPG.  His best game came late in the year when he scored 12 points and grabbed 11 boards in a win over Toronto on April 8th.

The Indiana native is excited to remain at home with the Pacers.  Shortly before signing, he stated, “I hope I get more of an opportunity and I think I’ll earn more of a chance.  I feel like I’ve got a wide range of things I can do.  I think I’ve gotten a lot stronger.  I’ve really improved my shot and right now it’s just trying to put it all together in the environment with the team and to play with these guys out here.  Hopefully, I can be with the Pacers forever.  I’d love to play here the rest of my life.”
