24. Indiana Pacers – Ashton Hagans, G, Kentucky

The Indiana Pacers have been one of the most surprising teams to emerge in the Eastern Conference over the last two seasons, and a big reason why is Victor Oladipo. However, they could use a running mate for their all-star.

With the No. 24 pick in the draft, don’t be surprised if the Pacers elected to make a move for a guard. Ashton Hagans is one of a number of ways that the Pacers could go in the late first-round. The Kentucky product may not be filling up the stat sheet, but he certainly has tons of potential.

Hagans is averaging eight points and five assists on 47 percent shooting from the field, but leaves much to be desired with his deep shot. If he can improve in that aspect, there’s no question he can develop into a real player at the next level.
