Another Draft in the Books for the Pacers
NBA Draft 2023
The Indiana Pacers added four players during Thursday night's NBA Draft.
With the 31st overall pick, the Pacers selected forward Jalen Hood-Schifino from Indiana University. Hood-Schifino was a key player for the Hoosiers last season, averaging 14.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. He is a versatile player who can score from all three levels and is a good defender. With the 38th overall pick, the Pacers selected guard Terry Taylor from Austin Peay State University. Taylor was a two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team selection and averaged 18.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game last season. He is a strong and athletic guard who can score in bunches and is a good rebounder. With the 54th overall pick, the Pacers selected forward Maurice Smith from Western Kentucky University. Smith was a three-time All-Conference USA selection and averaged 16.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game last season. He is a skilled scorer who can shoot from anywhere on the court and is a good rebounder. With the 58th overall pick, the Pacers selected guard John Butler from Florida State University. Butler was a two-time ACC All-Defensive Team selection and averaged 10.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game last season. He is a tough and physical defender who can also score from the outside.
The Pacers are hopeful that these four players can help them improve on their 25-57 record from last season. The Pacers have not made the playoffs since 2018 and are looking to make a return to the postseason soon.
