What could the Pacers get in return for their first round draft pick?
As much as the Pacers should be scouting every prospect available to take with the 18th pick, they should also be exploring a trade sending that pick out for an established player.
Last summer, after all the scouting was done, after all the experts had made their predictions, and after every blogger wrote their opinion piece, the 2016 NBA draft began. Just like any other draft, many aspects were easy to predict. Ben Simmons went number one, the Thunder swindled another team and the Kings did something stupid. It was all happening like clockwork. Once the lottery is over, anything can happen on draft night, and that’s part of what draws so many fans to the event.
