It’s official: the Indiana Pacers will be selecting 13th in the NBA Draft after last night’s lottery. The news came as no shock to the Blue and Gold faithful, even the uber-hopeful ones, given that the team bannered with them a near-certain 92.0 percent of securing the same pick.
While it’s arguably hard to acquire an instant game-changer in the late lottery, this upcoming crop of rookies is slated to be one of the deepest yet in recent memory. With the 2021 NBA Draft class consisting of talented prospects across the board, the Pacers will surely have a lot of options to maneuver around their pick.
