Indiana Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan explained the team's thinking and decisions in the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday night.

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers 2024 NBA Draft is complete. They entered the proceedings with three picks and ended up using that many, bringing a trio of rookies into their program. All three selections were in the second round.

"This is one of those drafts, it was hard to predict," Pacers general manager Chad Buchanan said after his team was done making selections.. Newton worked out for the blue and gold nine days before the draft, and Freeman was a popular riser late in the draft process. Furphy, meanwhile, is more of a long-term project. He's just 19 years old and will still be that age when the season starts. His offensive game, particularly his play finishing and off-ball skills, look impressive. He's smart in transition. But he will have to grow with the rock and on defense, and his jumper is unproven.
