Pacers bring in trio of Hoosiers for Monday's pre-draft workout--Indy Star

With the NBA draft quickly approaching, the Pacers are holding their final pre-draft workouts this week. Monday’s group included Marcus Burk from IUPUI, TreVion Crews from Bethel, Kyle Mangas from Indiana Wesleyan, Aaron Wiggins from Maryland and Matt Mitchell and Jordan Schakel from San Diego State.

Burk was seventh in the country for D1 schools in scoring, averaging 21.7 points on more than 40% from deep.  The Franklin Central High School grad also chipped in a Horizon League best 1.8 steals per contest as well as 3.7 boards and 2.2 assists on his way to being named to the Horizon League second team.

 

“I do feel like I’m an underdog,” Burk said. “Coming out of high school, I only had one D1 offer and that was Campbell, and I made it this far. That just continues to push me to work even harder to be the best I can be and see how far I can take my ability.”
