NBA Mock Draft Pick #23 -- Reggie Bullock, Guard, UNC
SB Nation's Pacers blog Indy Cornrows explains the pick:
The Pacers are in "win now" mode but they still need plenty of help off the bench. Primary needs of a big man and point guard are too big of a reach at this point in the draft if you need a player who can compete for playing time next season. Bullock could fill a desperate need for a shooter off the bench to supplement the league's top starting five after Gerald Green flamed out in that role last season. Bullock should have the maturity to come in an compete for playing time right away as a poor man's Klay Thompson with good size on the wing and the ability to spot up behind the arc. Bullock improved his shooting every year at Chapel Hill, improving his three-point shooting percentage from just under 30% his freshman year to around 44% his junior year.
