Indiana Pacers rookies Roy Hibbert and Brandon Rush told Indiana Pacers coach Jim O'Brien they wanted to fit in.
That's not what O'Brien wanted to hear.
O'Brien says he'd like to see both rookies compete with the veterans for starting jobs.
Hibbert, a center from Georgetown, came in the trade that sent Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto. Rush, a guard from Kansas, came to the Pacers in a trade with Portland that became official last week.
The Pacers announced Tuesday that both players have signed.
Based on the league's rookie scale, Rush will make about $1.5 million his first year as the No. 13 pick, and Hibbert will make about $1.2 million as the 17th selection.
