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.
