While the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors focus on winning this year’s championship, the Indiana Pacers just trying to get back to the playoffs. The easiest way they can improve this offseason comes on June 25 when NBA Draft.
Of all the lottery teams, Indiana — along with the Oklahoma City Thunder — are in this position solely due to injuries. They have a core capable of winning and were held back last season by Paul George and George Hill missing games (76 and 39 games missed, respectively).
Adding a lottery talent to that core could bring postseason success for years to come, but Indiana now has problems that they have yet to deal with during the Frank Vogel era.
