Which NBA Draft prospects could the Indiana Pacers target with the 54th overall pick?

The 2020 NBA Draft is scheduled to take place on Nov. 18 from ESPN Headquarters in Connecticut. Unless the Pacers decide to make a trade, Indiana will own the 54th overall pick. Generally, the 54th pick has not historically translated into big-name talent. Instead, the Pacers should look at potential talent and names that will make a difference off the court.

Rather than looking to make an impact on the court, the Pacers can look to make an impact in the headlines by drafting dynamic talent that will attract eyeballs outside of the Pacers’ usual audience.
