11. Indiana Pacers – Scottie Barnes, F, Florida State

The Indiana Pacers are one of the middling teams in the Eastern Conference at the moment, but they have a solid core of players that will keep this team somewhat relevant for the foreseeable future. And there’s also no guarantee that they’ll be picking in the lottery in the 2021 NBA Draft.

However, should they have a lottery pick, adding a versatile wing player will be the goal. Scottie Barnes represents a fit for the Pacers, as he has excellent size and length, and can guard nearly every position on the basketball floor. And effectively.

Barnes averaged 11 points, four rebounds, and four assists per game on 50 percent shooting from the field during his freshman season at Florida State. He’d be a great fit for a team that needs an effective wing.
