Grading the Indiana Pacers Draft Night

The 2015 NBA Draft is behind us now and the Indiana Pacers took Myles Turner and Joseph Young in hopes of building itself back into a title contender. The 8 Points, 9 Seconds staff has weighed in with their opinions on the draft, but what is the general consensus on Indiana’s newest editions?

Let’s take a look.

The Pacers were rumored to be after Kaminsky and thinking about adding Murray State’s Cameron Payne, but in the end the team went with a far less polished prospect in the Texas center. The 19-year old Turner can swat shots, he has good form on his shot (even if they aren’t falling much yet) and he’s a remarkable athlete, but he’s also quite raw and he’s being added to a team that is attempting to regain its championship contender status sooner rather than later.
