Pacers Draft Prep: What happened to Johnathan Motley?
Johnathan Motley has bounced all over mock drafts in the past few months. If he can stay consistent at the top of his game, he could be a reliable role player in the NBA.
Johnathan Motley was among those who participated in the Pacers’ sixth pre-draft workout on June 6. His name was very popular in mock drafts earlier in the season, but it has cooled off as of late. He may not be the flashiest player in the world, but he can do the dirty work.
Motley, a redshirt Junior, had a ton of playing time at Baylor. He started each of the team’s 34 games in 2014-15 and again in 2016-17. However, he started just nine of 34 games in the 2015-16 season.
