I know you run a risk of having a very likable but mediocre team when you put a premium on local ties, but man, I would love to see Cody and Yogi find a home back in Indiana. I'm afraid the OG ship has sailed since the Pacers passed on drafting him. I have a feeling his next contract will be very expensive.
Absolutely, you have to be choosy picking hometown guys and I think mental makeup is almost as important as physical attributes (we know the value Knight put on it). Teague was a terrible pickup and after reading the Trey Lyles article, I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole. Dude has loser written all over him.
