In simulation number three the Pacers again have a franchise changing pull as they move all the way up to number two in the NBA draft.

The Pacers are due for some good luck, especially given all of the injuries we have had over the last decade? It’s our time right? Well if our simulation have anything to say about it, the answer is definitely yes.

In the third simulation the Pacers move to two, which is a debatable pick. Some have Scoot Henderson and some have Brandon Miller. In either case, you probably aren’t really going to lose. My instinct would be the Pacers would take Brandon Miller given that he plays the position of greatest need for the Pacers right now. And his highlights from this past season are nothing to sneeze at either.

He would fit in nearly seamlessly next to the likes of Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner, who would be able to run the pick and roll effortlessly alongside of Brandon Miller who could stretch the floor. While unlikely to happen, this would be a major win for the Pacers if we moved up to two.
