NBA Mock Draft 2015: Pacers Get Their Man

10 years ago during the 2005 NBA draft, the Pacers had a top 6 talent tumble to them due to prior injury concerns. A decade later, history could repeat itself. Rumors say Cauley-Stein could drop due to past injuries and a sickle cell trait. Pacers would be estatic if WCS is here, and that woud pretty much close the door on the Roy Hibbert era.

The Jazz take the best player available in Stanley Johnson. Pairing him on the wing with Gordon Hayward could work.

Phoenix would prefer Kaminsky, but when him off the board they go with the versatile Lyles. Lyles should fit in well with the Suns uptempo offense, and give them much needed size.

After trading Reggie Jackson, the Thunder had D.J. Augustin backing up Russell Westbrook. I think the big picture is if Westbrook and Durant can co-exist…yes I know they have so far, but sooner or later I think OKC will have to pick one or the other, and my guess is they pick Durant. Payne gives OKC a true point guard behind Russ.

With Paul Millsap being up for free agency, the Hawks can use some depth in case Millsap bolts.
