For the Indiana Pacers and all 30 teams, the NBA Draft is a crapshoot in many instances.
Some teams with stronger scouting departments are better at it than others, but with so many variables at play for each and every prospect, it can be difficult to consistently make the right decisions on draft night. Every team has gotten a pick or two wrong over the years.
Add to the variables the fact that the fortunes of a player’s career are often determined in part by the match of a system to his skill set and the right playing opportunities presenting themselves, it’s easy to see why so many draft picks can be marked as “wrong” years down the line for any teams.
