Consensus pick to pick.

Really happy. Mathurin projects really well to the Pacers and nba. Hope he improves on defense, but he can fit on offense from day 1.

I thought he was great in college and my only concern was he was more of a two than a three. He joins Duarte as an islander and iJax as a cannuck.

Now get another pick.

I always worry when the next pick was a personal favorite. Not tonight. Passing on Sharpe is fine.

Awesome offensively. Not sure where this puts Duarte. I’m hoping we get a 3 because I’m tired of seeing under sized players unable to stop the opponents 3.

We appear to be getting a bit guard heavy while still needing a three. And no, I don't consider either Mathurin or Duarte as threes. It does continue the Pacers seeming love affair with Pac-12 players.

Now get another pick.

Let's hope.

I agree, we need big wings. I’d have gone with Daniels. Maybe Jeremy Sochan later tonight?

We already have who draft.net thinks Daniels could be like and I like him there too .

Well, that hope didn't last long.

I’m wishing the Spurs would trade Sochan to us for Brogdon going to them or a 3rd team. If not I hope they unload Brogdon soon to get a wing or 4 before the first round gets too late.

Spurs have two lower firsts. I covet one.

A bit off topic, but as I listen to Holmgren do interviews, he is a much more fun and relaxed interviewee than a lot of the other guys.
