The Pacers had just a 4.7% chance to move into the top four and a 1% chance for the number one overall pick, neither of which came true.
It wasn’t a total loss for the Pacers, however, who were represented well by Nancy Leonard at the lottery.
Though Indiana wasn’t able to move up, they will still have their first lottery pick since 2015, when they took Myles Turner 11th overall. In 2010, they picked Paul George at 10th. Their last 13th pick game in 2009, when they selected Tyler Hansbrough out of North Carolina.
