Magnum Rolle
Training camp
#### Training camp

Rolle, along with fellow Pacer rookie [Lance Stephenson](/wiki/Lance_Stephenson "Lance Stephenson"), was named one of the "steals of the draft" by *[The Boston Globe](/wiki/The_Boston_Globe "The Boston Globe")*. Rolle was invited to the Pacers' training camp, where he injured his head, requiring stitches. On September 28, the Pacers announced they had officially signed Rolle to a two\-year contract, but his salary was not disclosed. In five preseason games, he averaged 1\.8 points per game and 1\.4 rebounds per game.

However, he was waived on October 25, at the end of training camp, in order to shrink the roster to NBA\-mandated 15 players. The Pacers tried to trade [Dahntay Jones](/wiki/Dahntay_Jones "Dahntay Jones") and [Solomon Jones](/wiki/Solomon_Jones_%28basketball%29 "Solomon Jones (basketball)") to keep Rolle, but the trade fell through and the Pacers were reluctant to drop Solomon Jones due to a lack of depth in the [frontcourt](/wiki/Frontcourt "Frontcourt"). Had he made the roster, Rolle would have earned $510,000, but instead he made $50,000 in a buyout.
