Indiana Pacers

Draft Picks: Georges Niang No. 50

One of my favorites in terms of moves made other than the draft – obtaining Jeff Teague and Thaddeus Young. These two veterans are ready to make an immediate impact as the Pacers dealt away George Hill and the No. 20 selection.

Teague and Young join superstar Paul George, a really talented young big man in Myles Turner and new coach Nate McMillan, who appears ready to make a big push in the East once again.

As for the draft, the Pacers grabbed my personal (and bias filled) player Georges Niang.

Niang is an ultimate gamer who knows how to score despite a lack of speed and general NBA position. He will make the team and provide a spark off the bench for this team again on the rise.

Grade: A

Next: Los Angeles Clippers
