22. Indiana Pacers:  Bruce Brown SG Miami

Big Board Rank: 21

Indiana has come out of nowhere, and put together a very solid season. They’re most likely making the playoffs, found hidden potential in Victor Oladipo, and are excited to watch Myles Turner develop. Oladipo and Turner can’t do everything though.

With almost the whole team not being under contract in 2 years I think Indiana’s roster will look extremely different once their veterans contracts are up. So with this pick I’m going best available player that isn’t a big since the Pacers have Sabonis, Leaf, Anibogu, and Turner. That player is Bruce Brown. Brown is a do it all playmaking guard, but his jumpshot is a huge question. His three point percentage is down by 8 percent and is shooting 26 percent on the year. The development of his shot will really define his NBA role.
