The NBA held its annual Draft this past Thursday – and for the Indiana Pacers – a former Indiana native is coming back home to play for them.
George Hill was traded to the Pacers for the 15th overall pick Kawhi Leonard and the 42 overall pick.. Davis Bertans. Hill went to Broad Ripple High School and graduated from I-U-P-U-I.
Other Hoosiers had their share of the spotlight during the draft. Butler University star Shelvin Mack was drafted in the second round to the Washington Wizards. His teammate Matt Howard is still waiting to be drafted. Purdue star JuJuan Johnson was traded to the Boston Celtics after being drafted by the New Jersey Nets. He’ll join his Purdue teammate E’Twaun Moore in Boston.
