In the 2009 NBA Draft, the Pacers drafted F Tyler Hansbrough out of the University of North Carolina and G A.J. Price from the University of Connecticut. The Pacers also signed veterans in G Dahntay Jones to a four-year deal, F Solomon Jones to a two-year deal, and PG Earl Watson to a one-year deal. Each of those players were brought in because of their defensive abilities, something that the Pacers have lacked in past seasons. They were 5th-worst in the NBA during the 2008-09 season in points allowed. The Pacers also completed the buyout of troubled PG Jamaal Tinsley. The Toronto Raptors signed former Pacers Jarrett Jack and Rasho Nesterovic.
