2022 NBA Draft Big Board 2.0 for the Indiana Pacers after the lottery

NBA Draft Big Board for the Indiana Pacers (7-4)

7. Shaedon Sharpe, (SG)

Considered as one of the biggest gambles in the upcoming NBA Draft, Shaedon Sharpe could be the ultimate swing pick for the Indiana Pacers. He failed to log a minute for the Kentucky in the previous campaign, but his elite athleticism is more than enough for him to deserve a hard look from the Blue and Gold.

6. Bennedict Mathurin, Arizona (SG)

Arizona’s Bennedict Mathurin has a mature scoring profile who projects to be an NBA-ready, modern wing player right from the get-go. Boasting a solid three-point shot and a steady defensive game, he is one of the safest picks out there, one whose solid upside could ultimately entice the Pacers.

5. Keegan Murray, Iowa (PF)

One of the most dynamic forwards in the 2022 draft class, Keegan Murray remains a primary target for many teams outside the top-three. Inarguably the best forward aside from the consensus troika up top, Murray’s two-way play as a versatile scorer and defender should easily translate into the big league.

4. Jaden Ivey, Purdue (SG)

Jaden Ivey, the undisputable best backcourt cog in this draft, will be no ordinary consolation. While his draft stock isn’t as high as the prospects ahead of him, his explosive scoring ability alone makes him arguably one of, if not the best pure scorer in this draft. Any team who drafts him could be looking at a star for years to come.
