Draft Targets
Pick #16: Devin Booker, Shooting Guard/Small Forward, Kentucky
This is a dream scenario for the Pacers. Since SG Lance Stephenson’s departure this past offseason, the need for a quality shooting guard that can also light it up from deep and complement superstar SF/SG Paul George upon his return next season has been most glaring. Check, check, and check for Booker. The 6’6” shooting guard has hit 1.6 threes per game for the Wildcats on a ridiculous 43% clip. He’s more than just a spot up shooter, however, as he has used the threat of his lethal three-point shot in order to create more shots for himself off the dribble. Not only is Booker only 18 and the best player available, but he also addresses a need for Indiana. Easy choice.
