Former Indiana Hoosiers star Trayce Jackson-Davis is among the prospects scheduled to work out for the Pacers on Monday.

Jackson-Davis finished his IU career as the leader in rebounds (1,143) and blocked shots (270), and third in scoring (2,258). He averaged 20.9 points, 10.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.8 blocked shots in 2022-23, in which he earned first-team All-America and All-Big Ten honors.

He is projected as a second-round pick, but a strong measurables performance at the NBA draft combine and his work on a jumpshot may have him climbing draft boards.
