For the first time in a long time, the Indiana Pacers are looking at the chance for a draft pick near the top of the first round. Paul George was drafted tenth overall back in 2010 but prior to him, they hadn’t used a top-10 selection since 1996.
In fact, the Pacers have only drafted in the top 10 just nine times in franchise history and seven of those came prior to the 1990s.
