Thad Young to the Pacers!

Your Indiana Pacers have traded their first round pick in tonight's draft for forward Thaddeus Young, per Adrian Wojnarowski of the Vertical.

Young's availability had been rumored, and the 'Cers opted to make him their man. Young is on a great contract that will run through the 2017-2018 season, with a player option for 2018-2019. Young averaged 15.1 points on 51.4% shooting at 13.2 field goal attempts per game last season, and brings positional versatility to an already versatile Pacers lineup.

This comes on the heels of yesterday's Jeff Teague trade.
