With the NCAA tournament starting today, there are a few prospects that Indiana Pacers fans should keep an eye on — and remember when the NBA draft comes.

Even for NBA fans, the next few days of basketball are something as the NCAA Tournament starts in earnest. For Indiana Pacers fans — outside of watching their bracket fall apart — this is also a chance to watch potential future draft picks play.

While Indiana likely isn’t drafting until after the 20th pick, that certainly doesn’t mean they can’t pick up a talented player. If you recall, Aaron Holiday was picked 23rd in the 2018 NBA draft, and he already looks like an important part of the team’s future.

But who exactly should Indiana’s fans be watching? I’m glad you are playing along with this literary device despite the fact you maybe weren’t thinking about the Pacers while sitting down to watch the NCAA Tournament.

Let’s get to it.
