The Indiana Pacers will have their highest pick in the NBA Draft in 33 years, as they’ll select sixth overall at the 2022 NBA Draft. Unless, of course, they trade the pick.
Pacers President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard said his team will keep all of their options open as they head into this offseason.
“We’ve got cap space. We’ve got a good pick. We liked the fifth pick better, but we like the sixth pick,” Pritchard said. “The gamut of what we can do is wide and wider than I’ve ever seen ever in my time in this league, and I like that because now we get to get on the board and look at every scenario. There won’t be one. There won’t be two. There might 50 things we’ll look (at) up on the board, and that’s when you can be aggressive.”
Indiana projects to have over $25 million in cap space this summer. They’re also rumored to be exploring the trade markets for veterans Malcolm Brogdon and Myles Turner.
