Indiana Pacers: 3 NBA Draft prospects who may surprisingly fall to 13th

Shifting predictions for Moses Moody bodes well for the Indiana Pacers

Speaking of temperamental projections, Arkansas’ Moses Moody constantly accrues unpredictable ranges as to where he’ll end up being selected at in the NBA Draft. Some pundits have him as high as seven, while some slot him in the late 10s. Such volatility speaks volumes to this class’ impressive collection of talents.

While the likes of Josh Giddey, Franz Wagner and Corey Kispert provide more stable skillsets on offense, Moody’s higher upside as a perpetually in-demand 3-and-D cog and his young age at 19 arguably elicit a loftier ceiling compared to the aforesaid players.

Similar to Mitchell, the Indiana Pacers should strike the iron with Moody if he is available with the 13th pick. Although the team is not short of 3-and-D wings, adding a high-ceiling swingman will not only improve the defense, but also provide the Blue and Gold with more impetus to acclimate to the small-ball trend of today’s game.
