    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Desmon Farmer, an undrafted rookie out of Southern California, signed as a free agent with the Indiana Pacers on Monday.

    The 6-foot-5 guard, an All-Pac-10 first-team selection, averaged 19.4 points a game as a senior and finished fourth on USC's career scoring list with 1,606 points.

    Terms of the contract with were not disclosed.

    Farmer shot below 39 percent from the field last season but impressed NBA scouts with his defense and his muscular build, which helped him overpower smaller guards.

    He will be backing up Reggie Miller, Stephen Jackson and Ron Artest.</div>

    I got a great look at this guy in college, and I certainly wasn't impressed. He's a bit streaky, a southpaw, and he's got good athleticism...but I highly doubt he will make the squad

    His career defining moment was last years' pac-10 championship game, where they had a great shot to knock off Arizona and make a tournament bid, but Farmer went with the "shoot yourself out of a slump" ideology and went 2-22 FG, 0-12 3pters (this is a one game total, not a typo, lol ).... that's what I'll always remember him for unfortunately
