Detroit Pistons: Mock Draft 3.0 pick No. 12

Scouting Report. Shooting Guard. UCONN / Indiana Pacers. 12. player. 100. Pick Analysis. James Bouknight

The Indiana Pacers have been one of the surprisingly disappointing teams this season as most though they would at least make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

They are another team who might look for a big shake up in the offseason and might try to move on from some of their larger contracts and start over.

The Pacers already have a bunch of shooting guards, but with the future of Caris LeVert up in the air, they will grab another one here in Bouknight.

Bouknight is one of the top scoring guards in this draft and would give them an instant injection of offense off the bench and some insurance for LeVert.

Bouknight could also be a replacement for Brogdon if the Pacers decide to trade the veteran in the offseason.
