Jarrett Allen – #18 to Indiana

Wouldn’t it be juicy to see the Longhorns duo of Jarrett Allen and Myles Turner play together with the Pacers?

CBS Sports placed Allen with the Indiana Pacers in their mock draft. Allen should be picked before the 18th spot in the first round, but could you imagine Turner and Allen playing off each other?

Turner and Allen would be the ultimate combination of outside shooting big men that would allow the Pacers to spread the floor. It would force defenses to have to guard the outside, creating driving lanes for the Pacers guards.

It would be surprising to see Allen still available when Indiana is selecting. But, the Pacers should definitely select Allen if available at #18.
