The Indiana Pacers used a first-round pick on a third center in 2019 when they selected Goga Bitadze to develop behind Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. After two seasons in the NBA, Bitadze’s future appears to have a lot of question marks.

Indiana selected yet another big man in the first round this summer, adding Kentucky’s Isaiah Jackson to the mix. Jackson, who brings a lot more versatility than Goga, may be the backup of the future.
