2. Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers accepted the harsh reality of having to become sellers and rebuilding last season. They traded away Caris LeVert and Domantas Sabonis at the deadline.
Myles Turner would have been traded had he suffered a foot injury that kept him sidelined the second half of the season. He could be on the move, along with Malcolm Brogdon or Buddy Hield this offseason as well.
Indiana is still rebuilding, but they would be remiss to at least not try and move up the board to select Jaden Ivey. It is almost too perfect of a match, as the Indiana Pacers would be able to keep Ivey home by selecting them.
While the Indiana Pacers don’t necessarily need a backcourt player, as Tyrese Haliburton is the new franchise point guard and they selected Chris Duarte in the first round last year, teams should never pass on talent. Ivey is extremely talented and could make an excellent trio for the franchise to build around with the other two guards.

There have been reports that the Kings are interested in Brogdon, would he be enough to snag the fourth pick if packaged with No. 6? Indiana has to at least do their due diligence and make a call to Sacramento, a team they have experience working with already since they completed the blockbuster at the deadline.
