With the 2015 NBA Draft in the books, Summer League teams are being finalized by teams and agents across The Association. Many commitments were already in place but things can change based on the team’s draft, or if a more intriguing offer is made.
Romero Osby, a 6-8, 232-pound forward will be with the Pacers for the Orlando Summer League next month, per his agent Keith Kreiter. It runs runs from July 4-10, and the 10 participating 10 teams will play five games each. The Pacers, who want to increase their pace of play, may consider him at small forward.

Osby, who played two years at Mississippi State and then his final two years at Oklahoma, was born in Frankfurt, Germany but attended high school in Lauderdale, Mississippi.
He was selected 51st overall in 2013 NBA Draft by the Orlando Magic. He joined them for Summer League and the preseason that year, but then was waived prior to the regular season.
Between brief stints overseas, the 25 year old played 18 games in the NBA D-League with the Maine Red Claws. He averaged 17.2 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game, and he shot 48 percent from the floor.
