NBA Mock Draft 5.0: A.J. Griffin rises; Knicks acquire Zion Williamson
5. Indiana Pacers – Keegan Murray, F, Iowa
The Indiana Pacers are a team that will likely enter the 2022 NBA Draft will a ton of flexibility. They have some young, talented players but also a few quality veterans that they could choose to move at the draft or during the offseason.
If they elect to embrace the youth movement, the Pacers will have the freedom to take the best player available with their projected top 5 pick. Assuming they’re going to do that, one interesting prospect is Keegan Murray.
He would add to the team’s needs at the forward position and is a player that showed great growth this past season at Iowa. He’s still improving as a prospect and proved that he can be a consistent offensive threat.
