The 2023 NBA Draft is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on Thursday, and analysts have released their final mock drafts. Check out where former Hoosiers Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis are projected to land.
Indiana teammates Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis will, in all likelihood, experience life-changing moments on Thursday night during the 2023 NBA Draft.
Coached by Mike Woodson, the duo led Indiana to a 23-12 record and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament last season, as Jackson-Davis earned first-team All-American honors and Hood-Schifino won Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
They're pursuing professional careers now and eagerly await hearing their names called at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The draft begins at 8 p.m. ET and can be seen on ABC (first round only) and ESPN (first and second rounds).
Take a look at where various NBA mock drafts project these Hoosiers to go.
Jalen Hood-Schifino
Hood-Schifino arrived at Indiana as a borderline NBA Draft pick, but most project him as a lottery pick after one season as a Hoosier. Indiana coach Mike Woodson trusted Hood-Schifino to run the offense after an injury to Xavier Johnson, and he made the most of his opportunity. Highlighted by a 35-point effort in a win at Purdue, Hood-Schifino was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, averaging 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists on 33.3 percent 3-point shooting.
