Hayward is going through his training at St.Vincent Sports Performance in Indy. Some are working in groups, and others are playing in games like this, where there are almost as many smiles as dunks. Teague plans to return to Atlanta next week, where he will continue playing pro am games.
But each player has his own primary concern.
Josh McRoberts, an Indiana native who played with the Pacers last season, is a free agent who hasn't been able to negotiate a new deal. Shelvin Mack left Butler after his junior season, was selected by Washington in the second round of this year's NBA draft and is still unsigned.
"It's kind of tough," Mack said. "We've got things like this so we can still work on our skills, but you'd really like to get back to work."
For some players, that could come sooner — if they decide to move overseas.
Wall, for one, isn't ready to do that, and he isn't alone.
Gordon said that while he's had offers, he's not jumping at the chance and either is D.J. White, the former Indiana star who now plays for Charlotte.
"I've really not thought much about it," White said. "You really just want to work on your game and we'll see what happens. It's hard to put a time table (on deciding to play overseas)."

I think it is funny these players believe playing overseas is some kind of threat. The reality is that most of the league will get no offer over seas. The ones that do are getting a fraction of what they get here. Kobe 6 million? That is what a More..
Haha 3 of Denver's players have gone overseas with no NBA lockout clause.
JR Smith, K Mart, and Wilson Chandler if I remember right.
Hopefully Jazz can get to the playoffs....then again, next year's draft is so good that getting to More..
