The results of the 2016 NBA Draft lottery are in and the Sixers finally landed the elusive No. 1 overall pick after missing out the past two seasons. Now that the exact draft order is locked in, teams can begin targeting specific players who are likely to still be on the board when it is their time to choose. Drafting players is far from an exact science, and many a GM has been second-guessed for his draft night decisions. I’m willing to bet that every team executive has at least one pick that he would like a mulligan for. We at Hoops Rumors thought it would be fun to give our readers the chance to predict the results of this June’s draft, which is what we are doing with a series of polls.
We are now 20 picks deep and have come to the Pacers. Readers, you are now on the clock! Cast your vote for Indiana’s pick and check back Sunday for the results, as well as to cast your vote for who the Hawks will select with the No. 21 overall pick. But don’t limit yourself to a simple button click. Take to the comments section below and share your thoughts on the No. 20 overall pick and why you voted the way that you did.

They need a shooting guard that can play off the ball and defend his position it has to be Malachi Richardson.

They either need another shooter or a ball handler. As a Pacers fan I’d prefer a ball handler as the shooters they have are okay and you can always find a decent shooter in free agency. Technically, if they get a decent ball handler then they could move George Hill/Monta Ellis to a more full time shooting guard position.

Brice Johnson! He’s long, fast, athletic,and can handle the ball as well as rebound with the best of them! It would be amazing the pairing up with Myles Turner and let them grow together! I highly doubt or believe he will be available at pick#20 but if so…wow! Then we can go get Mike Conley in free agency! #comebackhomeConley
I would love to see us draft Ben bentil from providence, big, strong, can move, and score and rebound. We need desperate immediate help at pf. I say draft him and sign conley would be my dream off season
Thon maker plz
