Continue To Be Aggressive In NBA Draft
With the free-agent market being scarce this season in terms of talents that can help the Indiana Pacers rebuild around Tyrese Haliburton quickly, their only other option besides pursuing trades is to continue searching for high-level prospects in the NBA Draft.
Having two first-round picks and three second-round picks this season, the Pacers will be able to move up and down the draft, as they please, as well as have a chance to end up with one of the better players in the draft with their lottery pick this season.
The Raptors wound up with Scottie Barnes after not being projected to have a Top-5 pick last year, so anything can happen in regards to the Pacers’ draft position and their ping pong ball!
Potential trades to be made can also influence their draft choices, as trading Malcolm Brogdon or Myles Turner could result in the Pacers getting another first-round pick in the 2022 NBA Draft.
