13. Indiana Pacers – Corey Kispert, F, Gonzaga

I’m not exactly sure what the long-term plan is for the Indiana Pacers, but if there’s a safe pick on the board for the team it’s Corey Kispert. After Suggs, there might’ve not been a more important player on the Bulldogs this past season than Kispert.

Kispert is arguably the best shooting wing in this draft and would have a designated role for whichever team elects to take him on draft night. For the Pacers, he would fit a role and could grow next to this team’s young core.

There are concerns about his limited ceiling but in a league where shooting is always of need, I’m sure Kispert will be able to carve out a nice career at the next level.
