The NBA draft lottery didn’t shake out the way that the Pacers would have wanted it to, but it wasn’t all bad either (there was definitely a silver lining). The Pacers ended up with the number seven overall pick, but probably missing out on the blue-chip talent at the top of the draft.
The consensus seems to be that there are three to five top-tier talents in the draft this year, the biggest of which would be Victor Wembanyama, Scoot Henderson, and Brandon Miller. The Thompson brothers are also considered to be top-end talent. There are probably multiple players in the draft that would be a top overall draft pick many other years.
