After missing much of the season due to injury, Rolle rejoined the Red Claws in early March, and averaged 19.0 points and 6.8 rebounds in his final five games, shooting 59.4 percent (41-69). A native of the Bahamas, Rolle was selected by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round (51st overall) of the 2010 NBA Draft, and was then traded to the Indiana Pacers. With Indiana's 2010 NBA Summer League team, Rolle averaged 13.4 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks in five games.
