It was a pure scheduling coincidence, but it was fitting that Taylor Hendricks and Jarace Walker both worked out for the Pacers. The 19-year-old forwards are two of the most popular options in mock drafts for the Pacers to select with the seventh overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Both turned pro after one season in the American Athletic Conference, where they actually faced off twice on the court last season, with Hendricks at UCF and Walker at Houston.
