The 2025 NBA Draft is in the rearview mirror and, for the first time since 2022, no Hoosiers were selected.
That doesn’t come as a surprise. Jalen Hood-Schifino was seen as an NBA prospect as a high schooler, Trayce Jackson-Davis wasn’t without his suitors as a second round pick and Kel’el Ware was oozing with potential when the program signed him out of the transfer portal.
This past season’s roster carried no such near-guarantees. The closest Indiana was probably going to get was Mackenzie Mgbako, the league loves tall guys who can shoot, but he didn’t take nearly as much of a necessary leap to get into first round discussions.
