NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Projecting Pacers surprising first-round selections
By Joe Lyon
A power forward with size, court vision, and defense at seven.
Not much has changed at the top of the big board. There seem to be four power forwards floating around where the Pacers are projected to pick in this draft: Jarace Walker, Cam Whitmore, Gradey Dick, and Taylor Hendricks. And there is a chance that all four are still on the board at seven for the Pacers to choose from. If this is the case, then Jarace Walker is likely the top choice of the lot, followed by Cam Whitmore.

Walker has nearly everything you could ask for. And like the tweet above references, some mocks will have him going in the top 5. For reference, our top seven leading up to the Pacers pick of Walker for this mock goes like this:
- Victor Wembayama
- Brandon Miller
- Scoot Henderson
- Amen Thompson
- Ausar Thompson
- Anthony Black
- Jarace Walker
So what do you think? Would this be a successful draft for the Pacers if they could walk away with these players? Let us know in the comments!
