Pacers Miss Draft Lottery, Land Zubac

The Indiana Pacers, despite having the best shot at a top-four pick in the NBA draft lottery, ended up with the fifth spot due to a trade with the Clippers. The trade, which brought in center Ivica Zubac, also resulted in the Pacers losing their draft capital for this year. However, Zubacs impressive performance and the return of their Finals core players have the Pacers focused on staying competitive, with GM Chad Buchanan eyeing free agency tweaks. The draft is set for June 23rd and 24th in Brooklyn, with top prospects like A.J. Dybantsa in the mix. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
