June 2nd News In the G6 of the NBA Playoffs Eastern Conference Finals, the Pacers defeated the Knicks 125-108 at home, and entered the finals 4-2, and will face the Thunder. There are three 2020 rookies in the Pacers - Halliburton, Nesmith and Toppin, who have all made their own contributions on the team's journey back to the finals stage.

Topin is the one with the highest draft pick among the three. He is the No. 8 pick in the first round of 2020, Halliburton's No. 12 pick, and Nesmith's No. 14 pick.

It is worth mentioning that Wiseman, who was the second pick in the 2020 second-tier pick and won the championship with the Warriors, also played for the Pacers this season, but he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the opening match and was reimbursed for the season. This year's trading deadline (February 7), he was traded to the Raptors and was later cut by the Raptors.

In addition, among the 2020 rookies Jaylen Smith (the Suns picked No. 10 pick, joined by the Suns through a trade in February 2022, joined the Bulls in the 2024 offseason), Jordan Walla (the Bucks selected No. 45 pick, joined the Pacers through a trade in February 2023, and was sent to the Raptors in January 2024) also played for the Pacers, and the No. 57 pick, Reggie Perry and the undrafted Nate Hinton also played for the Pacers for a short time.
