Indiana Pacers Prospects: Moses Moody, a defensive bulldog

Where would Moses Moody be available to the Indiana Pacers in the 2021 NBA Draft?

The most recent mock drafts around the Net have the Indiana Pacers in fact selecting Moses Moody around pick 9-12, and I think that’s a reasonable place to pick a player of this caliber up. If the Pacers have a pick in the 8-15 range, I don’t think you can really “reach” on a player with this much defensive ability and solid offensive growth potential.

If you have the opportunity to pick a switchable wing with chops to guard bigs and confidence behind the three-point line, it’s hard to miss on a player like that in today’s game.

Projected stats with the Indiana Pacers:

While he may never be an offensive star, he is still the type of player who can average 15 points a game as an off-ball option, especially on a Pacers team that is top-four in assists in the entire league.

I project his line to be something like 15 points, 5-7 rebounds, 4-6 assists, 2 steals, and a block a game. All the while putting up percentages of 45/37/80.
