The 2015 NBA Draft is behind us now and the Indiana Pacers took Myles Turner and Joseph Young in hopes of building itself back into a title contender. The 8 Points, 9 Seconds staff has weighed in with their opinions on the draft, but what is the general consensus on Indiana’s newest editions?
Let’s take a look.
The Pacers filled their needs and chose a first round player with upside which led most of the writers to give the Indiana Pacers a above average grade on draft night. Turner and Young may not have brought a ton of excitement like other more well-known names did, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have talent.
It may take time for either player to develop but it is hard to say that Larry Bird made the wrong choices.
