Pacers draft picks: Updated look at every selection in 2025, 2026 & beyond

The Indiana Pacers are in a unique situation heading into the 2024-25 season. They are fresh off an Eastern Conference Finals appearance and are firmly in playoff contention if not title contention. Additionally, they are an extremely young team and will likely only get better as the seasons progress. Ultimately, the Pacers are set to compete in the present and the future.

Something to keep an eye on in the future for the Pacers is their draft picks. Being able to use your draft picks wisely is essential to a team's long-term success. Whether it is by drafting the right player, or using those picks in a trade for someone from a different NBA team, stockpiling draft picks is always a smart call.

For the Pacers, they are not as loaded in draft picks as a team like the Oklahoma City Thunder are, but they are doing pretty well for themselves regardless. With the 2024 NBA Draft and the peak of this summer's offseason behind us, now is a good time to check in on the Pacers' future draft picks to see what the team is working with.
