Out of nowhere, the Pacers selected Liberty guard Taelon Peter with the 54th overall pick of Thursday night's second round in Brooklyn. Indiana's pick raised a lot of eyebrows, as he wasn't expected to hear his name called during the second round. The Pacers likely valued his shooting, as he shot 45.3-percent from the 3-point range last season.
