Indiana to Have Single-Digit Pick for First Time Since 1989, Potentially Two First-Round Selections
The 2022 NBA Draft order won't be set until the Draft Lottery on May 17, but one thing is already certain. The Pacers will have a single-digit draft pick for the first time in over 30 years.
Indiana finished the 2021-22 season with a 25-57 record, the fifth-worst mark in the league. That means the Blue & Gold will enter the lottery with the fifth-best odds to secure the number one pick. The Pacers' pick is guaranteed to fall somewhere from first to ninth pending the results of the lottery.
