Injuries ruined the Ike Anigbogu experiment

Pretty much every draft pick in the back of the second round is a crapshoot. The uncertainty surrounding those selections means that it is impossible to say what you are getting. Such was the case when the Indiana Pacers drafted Ike Anigbogu back in 2017.

I was actually pretty excited about the pick. At 47, Ike was a good value play. He had been projected to go pretty high in some mock drafts before he started in college, so getting him late seemed like a steal. The fact that an injury caused him to fall to the Pacers made him an ideal draft selection to me at that draft slot – low risk, high reward.
