The top of the IC NBA Draft board for the Pacers is set, with Auburn’s Jabari Smith earning 42% of the vote while Jaden Ivey finished second with 21%. Interestingly, Chet Holmgren only garnered 7% of the vote so we will see how many of the Jabari votes now flip to Holmgren.
Personally, I love the idea of Jabari Smith at the top as a legit power forward with a shooting stroke I would never tire of watching. Sadly, the Pacers front office will likely have to give up a bunch to go after Smith who certainly won’t slide down to six.
