25. Indiana Pacers (via Oklahoma City) - Osasere Ighodaro, F/C, Marquette
With another selection in the first round, this time thanks to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Indiana Pacers could look to add to the frontcourt. I'm not really sure what the plan is for Myles Turner moving forward and even though it does make sense to keep him around, I'm not sure that's a foregone conclusion right now. Next year will be the final year of his contract and it's certainly a situation that deserves monitoring.
If the Pacers do look to add some depth to the frontcourt, Osasere Ighodaro could be a candidate for the Pacers. In his senior season for Marquette, Ighodaro is averaging 12 points and six rebounds on 66 percent shooting from the field. As one of the more experienced players in this year's draft class, Ighodaro offers versatility in the frontcourt.
Over the last two years at Marquette, Ighodaro has shown promise as a playmaker from the big man position and that's the type of prospect that deserves to be selected in the first round. Ighodaro is a big man who has a special skill set. If he can continue to polish it, there's no question he can be an effective player at the next level.
