Pacers' Frank Vogel: 11th pick more like 3rd, 4th or 5th

Indiana Pacers coach Frank Vogel says the upcoming NBA Draft is so deep that his team's No. 11 pick is not really a No. 11 pick.

"There are a lot of guys that we feel are going to be available at our spot at 11 that we really think are going to help us," he said Monday. "In our minds, we have a chance to succeed at what's more like a third, fourth or fifth pick. It's a pretty deep draft."

Vogel was officially on the phone not to talk basketball but to talk suits — yes, suits. He has been raiding his closet looking for clothes to donate to the Men's Wearhouse National Suit Drive later this month.

He has come up with eight that are "in pretty good shape" that he just doesn't wear much anymore.

"Donating some suits that we have to help a lot of young professionals out there going on interviews, trying to get jobs and maybe haven't made enough money yet to buy a nice suit, that's great," he said. "Any chance we have to give back to the community and be involved in charity organizations, we're there."

As we chatted about his giving back to the community, we also slid in some other questions:

Warriors or Cavs in the NBA Finals?

"Who I think will win or who I want to win?" Evidently the answers are different ... and he would not give us either.

"I'm going to plead the fifth because I don't want to step on any toes."

Are you watching?

"I've been watching it for more of a study of what is happening with our game. How successful can the small ball approach be? I understand it's going to be growing in popularity. Playing small, little like Cleveland or ultra small like Golden State. We are going to be making adjustments."

On David Letterman's retirement:

"I guess he had a hell of a run, obviously. America is going to miss him. To me, in particular, for my first glimpse of being in the spotlight at 13 years old, it's something that has really stayed with me. It's a great conversation piece when people find out."

Vogel was on the show as a kid in 1986 performing a stupid human trick, spinning a basketball on a toothbrush while brushing his teeth.

Are you more popular for the Letterman stunt or NBA coaching?

"It really exploded when I had gotten the interim job here; I got 75 to 100 texts. Three months later, that video was revealed on the Internet that I had been on Dave Letterman as a child. I got 200 texts. I got more texts from that video going viral than getting the interim coaching job."

How are you filling your time, not coaching right now?

"I coach soccer. We have two goals set up in our backyard and, basically, a full soccer field. I love getting out there and teaching (my two daughters) the game and playing with them and their friends. We also have a lot of backyard barbecues with friends."
