The player the Pacers take with the 18th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft very well might have worked out for the team on Monday. Which player that is, however, is anyone's guess.
At their fifth pre-draft workout in preparation for the Draft on June 22, the Blue & Gold welcomed four players projected as first-round picks to Bankers Life Fieldhouse. It was easily the deepest group of prospects to audition for the Pacers to date.
Kentucky's Edrice "Bam" Adebayo, Duke's Luke Kennard, California's Ivan Rabb, and Terrance Ferguson — a Dallas native who played for the Adelaide 36ers in Australia's National Basketball League rather than attend college — all expect to hear their name called relatively early on draft night.
