ESPN's Bobby Marks has named one intriguing player a "fit" for the Pacers. He thinks that Los Angeles Clippers' free agent Ben Simmons would fit in Indiana. Simmons was one of a few players mentioned as possible fits. Marks also urged the Pacers to re-sign Turner to a contract worth around three years for $75 million.

Pacers' draft pick Taelon Peter was named third-team All-Conference USA and the Conference USA Sixth Man of the Year.

Out of nowhere, the Pacers selected Liberty guard Taelon Peter with the 54th overall pick of Thursday night's second round in Brooklyn. Indiana's pick raised a lot of eyebrows, as he wasn't expected to hear his name called during the second round. The Pacers likely valued his shooting, as he shot 45.3-percent from the 3-point range last season.
