NBA Mock Draft 6.0: Spurs jump into top 3; Lakers offload Russell Westbrook

6. Indiana Pacers – Jalen Duren, C, Memphis

The Indiana Pacers are sitting in an interesting position heading into the offseason. They have the flexibility that would allow them to try and make moves to potentially win now or even lean deeper into the rebuild.

With their first pick in the f first round, the Pacers could look to solidify their frontcourt in the event that they end up trading Myles turner at the draft or later during the offseason. One potential fit is Jalen Duren.

Duren is one of the most athletic bigs in the draft and is built exactly how you’d want a modern big to be. He’s strong, a good finisher, and can develop into an elite rim protector.
