Kam Jones gives the Pacers a combo guard who can play on the ball now and off the ball later, who may have to play following Tyrese Haliburton injury.

The Indiana Pacers traded to acquire Marquette star Kam Jones No. 38 in the 2025 NBA draft on June 26 from the San Antonio Spurs. After the senior earned consensus second-team All-American honors for his performance this past season, it seemed as though it was only a matter of time regarding when Jones would be selected in the NBA draft.

The Indiana Pacers missed out on having a first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, although they managed to find some second-round value.
