Indiana Pacers Love/Hate series: Ike Anigbogu

Second round picks can be anything. Sometimes you get Draymond Green or Isaiah Thomas. Other times you get no names who don’t amount to much. In the Indiana Pacers history of drafting players, most of their second rounders have landed somewhere in between.

2017 second round pick Ike Anigbogu has a chance to end up on either extreme. Before getting injured during his freshman year at UCLA, many draft experts pegged him as a first-round pick, and some even had him in the late lottery. He still has that level of potential in him somewhere. If he can accentuate all of his positives, he could turn out to be a quality play finishing center who can protect the rim at a high level.
