2015 NBA Draft: Predicting Every Pick for Indiana Pacers

The Indiana Pacers are entering the 2015 NBA Draft with the No. 11 and No. 43 picks, and they are looking for players who can help them take a step forward next season. Larry Bird is looking to play a faster offensive tempo next year, and the draft is going to be key for them. There are quite a few talented players they could target with both picks, but who will they end up taking?

Round 1, Pick 11 - Frank Kaminsky, Center

Frank Kaminsky is the perfect fit for the Indiana Pacers, and he's the type of player that Larry Bird loves to draft. He averaged 18.8 points and 8.2 rebounds per game last season while shooting 54.7 percent from the field overall and 41.6 percent from behind the three-point arc. Roy Hibbert likely won't be back in the same role if at all next season, and Kaminsky would fit Frank Vogel's offense perfectly.

Round 2, Pick 43 - Terry Rozier, Guard

Last season as a sophomore, Terry Rozier averaged 17.1 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game with the Louisville Cardinals. Indiana could use a new backup point guard with C.J. Watson heading into free agency and not being expected back, and Rozier could fit into that role. He has the potential to be an NBA player and help a team immediately. The Pacers would love to snag him with the No. 43 overall pick in the draft.
