Insider: Locked in at No. 11, who have Pacers talked to?

The ping-pong balls have spoken: as expected the Indiana Pacers will select with the 11th pick in the next month's NBA Draft.

On Tuesday night in New York City, the 31st annual NBA Draft Lottery revealed the sequence of selection for the 14 teams that did not make the playoffs this season. Indiana finished 38-44 and remained in its original slot. Excluding the three top picks, the other 11 slots were decided by the inverse order of regular-season records. The draft will be held June 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

In ESPN's mock draft, the Pacers are projected to select Murray State point guard Cameron Payne, who participated in the team's first workout on Monday. According to DraftExpress, Texas power forward Myles Turner will be selected at No. 11. Last week, Turner met with Pacers' officials at the NBA draft combine in Chicago and said the team reiterated its desire to play smaller and faster for the 2015-16 season.

Pacers president of basketball operations Larry Bird represented the team at the draft lottery.

"I'd like to take a couple home with me," Bird joked when asked for his evaluation of the 2015 prospects. "The talent pool this year is very good. There are a lot of good players out there, so all of us sitting up here tonight should be happy about that."

Here is a list of the prospective draft picks targeted by the Pacers. List is not comprehensive.

Interviewed with Pacers

• Justin Anderson (Virginia) – a well-built 6-6 guard who in his interview with Indiana was told of the team's plans to play Paul George periodically at the four spot.

• Devin Booker (Kentucky) – teenaged son of a former player, Melvin Booker, who spaces the floor as a 41.1 percent 3-point shooter during one year in college.

• Willie Cauley-Stein (Kentucky) – most athletic and versatile defending big in the draft.

• Dakari Johnson (Kentucky) – strong but raw center who appears to be the type of big man that won't fit into new-look Pacers.

• Stanley Johnson (Arizona) – called himself "best player" in the draft and a friend of current Pacer Solomon Hill, another Arizona Wildcat.

• Frank Kaminsky (Wisconsin) – consensus National Player of the Year as a highly-skilled scoring center in college but looking to play the 4 in pros.

• Aaron Harrison (Kentucky) – the 'other' Harrison who plays more of the wing than his point guard twin brother, Andrew.

• Trey Lyles (Kentucky) – local product known for his high basketball I.Q.

• D'Angelo Russell (Ohio State) – the top-rated point guard in the draft will have to fall mightily to slip to the Pacers.

• Myles Turner (Texas) – another one-and-done player whose stats appear unremarkable because of his role and system in the college game but an intriguing prospect with defensive skills.

• Rashad Vaughn (UNLV) – averaged 19.5 points per game during his one and only year in college.

• Christian Wood (UNLV) – long wingspan (7-3 ¼) but a future power forward in the NBA.

Worked out with Pacers

• Rakeem Christmas (Syracuse) – at 23 years old, one of the oldest players who attended the NBA combine.

• Jerian Grant (Notre Dame) – though he averaged 5.79 assists per game during college career, fancies himself as a combo guard in the NBA (16.6 ppg senior season).

• Olivier Hanlan (Boston College) – earned raved reviews from teams after combine interviews, according to Yahoo Sports.

• Richaun Holmes (Bowling Green) – improved in three years at a mid-major.

• Cameron Payne (Murray State) – once an unknown prospect but moving up the draft boards; averaged 20.2 points during his sophomore year.

• Joseph Young (Oregon) – another scoring point guard (20.7 ppg his senior year) but projected as a late second-round grab.
