Indiana’s first pre-draft workout was held on Tuesday, May 17, in preparation for the draft on June 23. At this time last year, the Pacers were present on lottery night for the first time in half a decade, ultimately receiving the 11th pick, which they used on Myles Turner.
This year, the Pacers will only have the 20th pick, where quality talent gets a little harder to judge. However, the first round pick can hold a valuable piece for the team going forward, especially considering Larry Bird’s skill in finding talent at around this point in the draft.
