Get used to hearing Moses Moody as a favorite for the Pacers. He possesses all of the tools that this roster currently lacks on both ends of the floor. Moody is a three-level scorer with a lot of potential on the defensive end of the floor as well. Most notably, Moody is currently projected in the back half of the lottery, which seems to be the range for Indiana.

He is a pro-ready scorer that can get the job done from anywhere on the floor. His numbers may not be as high as the other guys on this list but 16.8 points on .427/.358/.812 splits are still respectable. At just 19 years old on draft night, the sky is the limit for the former Razorback.

There is nothing more valuable in basketball than having a wing that can create his own shots and convert them into points. The writing is on the wall for Moody to be that kind of player and the Pacers should be very excited if he is available for them. Even if they have to trade up to secure him, Moody is too perfect of a player for Indiana to pass up.

Indiana could use his shot creation off the bench as a leader in the second unit but could also fit him next to Caris LeVert in the starting lineup if they decide to part ways with T.J. Warren. Having extra two-way wings is the best problem to have in the NBA.

Next. It's time for the Pacers to play Cassius Stanley. dark
