Leo Lyons, not selected Thursday night in the 2009 NBA draft, has agreed to play for the Indiana Pacers' summer league team.
"Then we'll see where we go from there," said Mark Bartelstein, the Chicago-based agent who represents Lyons and Missouri teammate DeMarre Carroll.
"He may go to Cleveland (the Cavaliers) after that."

From @gregpmitchell: “Bad Leo? Why is that funny? Also, how does it make sense? Simply a nonsensical product of the media that people like you love.”
“The “Bad” Leo stigma is so annoying. He was a guy who got in some trouble, and because he wasn’t from St. Louis… …or pounded his chest people labeled him lazy. The guy was a great college player, that takes a lot of hard work."
Question to RMNers: Is “Bad Leo” unfair?
"Bad Leo", as I understand it, doesn't refer to poor behavior
It refers to the fact that he seemed to be schizophrenic at times. Some games (Good Leo) he was everything we wanted him to be. He hustled, took smart shots, etc. and had good games. Other games (Bad Leo) he was the exact opposite. He was inefficient, seemed disinterested, unmotivated (and had bad games)
so… no, it’s not unfair, because it’s an easily documented side of his Mizzou career. A side that showed up far too often to be simply a factor of being shut down by the opposing defense.
That being said, it’s a side that didn’t show up too often the 2nd half of this last season.

Only guy crazier than Carlos Zambrano in baseball is Julian Tavarez

he showed the same spunk at the end of his junior leading to a lot of NBA speculation then as well.
a motivated leo lyons is a great player to watch. an unmotivated leo is extremely frustrating.
