    "They are scorers who put their points on the board in different ways.

    One does it from the perimeter. The other is always in attack mode to the basket. They both could be available when the Indiana Pacers pick at No. 15 in the June 23 draft.

    That could be good for them because the Pacers are looking to add another scorer.

    Washington State's Klay Thompson and Providence's Marshon Brooks continued their head-to-head battles on the wing when they went at each other throughout their workout Tuesday at Conseco Fieldhouse.

    "Me and Klay saw each other in New York (at a recent workout) and we'll be seeing each other a lot more 'cause we're in that range together," Brooks said. "We're totally different players. He's more comfortable shooting. I can shoot, but I'm more of a driver."

    Butler's Matt Howard, Purdue's E'Twaun Moore, Bradley's Andrew Warren (Brebeuf Jesuit) and Wisconsin's Jon Leuer also worked out Tuesday.

    The Pacers have several holes to fill. Finding another player to help in the scoring department is one.

    The Pacers have to add another player on the wing through the draft, trade or free agency because Mike Dunleavy is a free agent and they are expected to try to trade the inconsistent Brandon Rush.

    "I know Indiana needs scoring and I talked to (Pacers president) Larry Bird at the combine (in Chicago)," Brooks said.

    Thompson, the son of former NBA player Mychal Thompson, averaged 21.6 points a game last season. He made nearly 40 percent of his 3-point attempts and displayed superb range. He was suspended for a game late in the season after he was arrested for possession of marijuana."
