The Indiana Pacers, thanks to their crafty decision to sign-and-trade for Malcolm Brogdon this past summer, do not have a first-round pick in the NBA Draft this year. This season, it might be a good year to not have any motivations in the first round with limitations on being able to work out prospects.
While the Pacers have developmental projects available already to them in Goga Bitadze and Brian Bowen II, they do have the opportunity to make impact selections in the second round.
Second rounders are hit and miss. Many second-rounders fizzle out of the NBA quickly, but sometimes there can be tremendous value found in picks 31-60.
