Indiana Pacers Draft Pick Watch Thread

[Ron Swanson]

I like Stanley a whole lot more than most of the guards projected to go in the 20-30 range. I see some young Jason Richardson there.

New ringer mock. Has us with Cole Anthony:

There may not be a better team for Anthony than the Bucks, who could utilize his pick-and-roll talent even as a rookie. At North Carolina, Anthony had no spacing to work with, but the Bucks typically have four or five shooters on the floor at all times, which could unlock the abilities that he last showed as a top high school recruit. The Bucks need to prove to Giannis Antetokounmpo that they can truly contend for a championship, and Anthony could end up being one of the steals of the draft just like Antetokounmpo was many years ago.

[Ron Swanson]

Would be ecstatic if Anthony fell to 24.

Don't think I'd be happy with him. Offensively he looks pretty similar to Baddy Chuckerson McNobrains.

Think this is a best case scenario for us. He's the PG I've pegged as most likely to surprisingly slide into the 20s and I'd probably trade up to secure him if he makes it to 20.

Wouldn't be surprised if we're one of the teams O'Connor is talking about showing interest in Zeke Nnaji either. I don't really like him personally but it seems like something we'd do.

Give me the 20% chance that he's the 80% version of Kemba Walker over the 50% chance that a guy like Tyrell Terry is the 100% version of Jose Calderon.

Cole Anthony would be underwhelming but I don't expect much at #24. Beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

Was just gaming out the draft yesterday and thinking I better go back and look at Anthony more. You could make an argument that nobody in the draft better fits the scoring PG ideal better than he does.

Going to take a break from my election and nfl deadline anxiety to wildly speculate on wtf this means.

[emunney]

Yeah what the ****?

[WeekapaugGroove]

Yeah what the ****?

Get mentally prepared for wiggins and 2 for Mids

Probably just doing their due diligence on an interesting prospect.

I think I'm changing my mind on Anthony Edwards. The more I look, the more it seems that no one seems to be clearly better than him and his size is pretty impressive.

Wiseman on the other hand is trending down for me.

Killian Hayes might end up okay, but right now I just see a hybrid of MCW, Dante Exum and Kyle Anderson.

Agree on Edwards but I really don't get this. Hayes is shooting 90% from the line and has one of the best off the bounce games in the class and you compare him to non shooters.
I get being down on Hayes but please for the right reasons.

My comp was more about style than shooting, but I accept and respect your point.

Probably that but it means that deals like these at least crossed their minds.

Nobody is going to say out loud what it actually COULD mean, but we're all gonna think it.

Bye Midds.

[emunney]

They've got Terry going 8th ahead of Haliburton (10)!

ETA: Was looking at the big board, not the mock. But still.
