‘Legitimately shocking’: Inside Aussie’s ‘tough’ NBA draft slide... and first chat with new coach

Indiana traded up a spot to take Furphy 35th overall in the draft after the Victorian, who was expected to be taken in the back-half of the first round, was overlooked by other teams.

“To be honest, it was pretty hard because you get invited in there... and that’s based on pretty firm feedback from clubs that that’s what they’re going to do and it’s not a guarantee clearly as it played out. Furphy was one of two green room invitees to miss out on selection in the first round, with Kyle Filipowski also passed up by a number of teams before the Duke big man was drafted by the Jazz.

Indiana averaged 102.16 possessions per game during the regular season, ranking second in the league, while 13.4 per cent of their points came in the fast break, ranking sixth.
