Indiana University Women’s Basketball receives verbal commitment from Maya Makalusky for 2025 <\/strong>
The Indiana women\u2019s basketball team landed its first 2025 commitment in Hamilton Southeastern guard Maya Makalusky. The Fishers, Ind., native chose the Hoosiers over offers from DePaul, Maryland, Oregon, Florida, Alabama, Kentucky and others. The 6-foot-3 guard averaged 15.4 points and 3.9 rebounds per game last season while shooting 40 percent from 3-point range. She attends Hamilton Southeastern High School the same school that produced current Hoosier Sydney Parrish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makalusky made her mind up at IU team camp on Saturday. \u201cWhen I went there, it just felt like where I was supposed to be,\u201d Makalusky said. \u201cI really felt like they were a second family. One of the big conversations I had was with Mackenzie Holmes. She was saying the same things that I was thinking when it came to comparing it to other schools, so that\u2019s when I knew I was supposed to be here.\u201d Being from Indiana, meeting head coach Teri Moren was a really special moment for Makalusky. \u201cAs a kid growing up in Indiana, it\u2019s a surreal moment,\u201d Makalusky said. \u201cI was geeking out the whole time because it\u2019s just so cool.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makalusky\u2019s game has always revolved around her perimeter shot, something she excels at. However, she said she\u2019s been dedicated to improving her versatility by focusing on her defensive abilities, rebounding and aggressiveness on both ends of the court. Makalusky\u2019s recruitment has been hectic, as she\u2019s garnered attention and offers from some of the top programs in the country. But Indiana was always on her mind because it\u2019s so close to home and the connection with fellow Hamilton Southeastern product Parrish now at IU. She and Parrish have become friends after Makalusky\u2019s older sister and Parrish were teammates for a season. \u201cShe\u2019s just never changed as a person,\u201d Makalusky said. \u201cShe and her family have always had our backs.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basketball hasn\u2019t always been an easy road for Makalusky. Originally from Colorado, she was told by doctors that a heart condition would prevent her from participating in basketball and cross-country. Even during her freshman year of high school, she continued to confront obstacles. There were people who treated her and her sister poorly, making it hard for Makalusky to enjoy the sport. Malalusky persevered and will join her mother and older sister, Riley, in playing college basketball. Her mother, Jenn, played at Villanova and her sister will play at Butler next season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makalusky won\u2019t arrive in Bloomington for two years, but she\u2019s looking forward to keeping the Hoosiers, who have reached new heights the last few seasons, at the highest level. \u201cNot only are they helping IU as a college, but the amount of people that are now supporting women\u2019s basketball is amazing,\u201d Makalusky said. \u201cThey\u2019re selling out games, setting records \u2013 they\u2019re building the brand of women\u2019s basketball, not only in Indiana but in basketball, period. They\u2019re making the difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indiana University Men’s Basketball players Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson Davis selected in the 2023 NBA Draft <\/strong>
Former Indiana guard\u00a0Jalen Hood-Schifino <\/a><\/dfn>was selected with the 17th pick by the Los Angeles Lakers, while forward Trayce Jackson-Davis\u00a0was picked with the 57th pick by the Washington Wizards and traded to the Golden State Warriors, pending league approval, in the 2023 NBA Draft.

Jalen Hood-Schifino, G-Los Angeles Lakers -Hood-Schifino, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, averaged 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game in his lone season with the Cream and Crimson. He finished fourth on the all-time Hoosier freshman assists list with 117. JHS ranked third in the Big Ten in scoring among freshmen players, fourth in rebounds, and second in assists. He produced three 20-point games and two 30-point outings, including a career-best 35 points at No. 5 Purdue on Feb. 25.

He also claimed Big Ten Freshman of the Week four times and was named the league’s Player of the Week on Feb. 27. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trayce Jackson-Davis, F-Golden State
Jackson-Davis, a consensus All-American, led the Hoosiers in points (20.9), rebounds (10.8), assists (4.0), and blocks (2.9) per game during his senior season to become the first player in over 25 seasons of NCAA basketball to averaged 20\/10\/4\/2 in the same season.

Indiana Pacers add four players in the 2023 NBA Draft <\/strong>
The Indiana Pacers added four players during Thursday night\u2019s NBA Draft. The Pacers entered the week with five selections (No. 7, No. 26, No. 29, No. 32 and No. 55) but made moves by trading picks with the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers before the draft. They ended up with four picks. Here\u2019s a look at the newest Pacers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jarace Walker SF\/PF-Houston -The team wasn\u2019t done dealing on draft night, swapping their No. 7 pick with the Washington Wizards\u2019 No. 8 pick. While the team technically selected Bilal Couibaly at No. 7, they surrendered his draft rights to Washington for Houston\u2019s Jarace Walker and a pair of second-round 2028 draft picks. \u201cHis defense is very good, his rebounding is good,\u201d Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said of Walker. \u201cThose are areas where we need to improve [as a team]. He played in a great system at the University of Houston for Kelvin Sampson, who\u2019s done an amazing job there. His teams are always known for hard, unselfish play.\u201d Walker averaged 11.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists during his sole season in Houston. Measured at 6\u20196.50\u201d (without shoes) and 248 pounds with a 7\u20192.50\u201d wingspan at the combine, Walker is expected to play power forward. He could also find himself at center when the Pacers use a smaller lineup. Walker\u2019s most tantalizing potential comes on the defensive end. He\u2019s an athletic shot blocker with the ability to guard on and off the ball, adding some defensive punch to a Pacers team sorely in need of a boost on that end of the floor. The Pacers, after all, finished 26th<\/sup> in defensive rating last season. His versatility and athleticism he boasts a 38-inch vertical leap make him a welcome addition to the lineup. He can switch and guard on the perimeter. From an offensive standpoint, he offers a good midrange touch and an eye for passing. He\u2019s expected to make an ideal pick-and-roll partner for Tyrese Haliburton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ben Sheppard SG Belmont- In today\u2019s NBA, you can\u2019t have enough shooters. Wing Ben Sheppard brings a solid perimeter game to Indiana and was picked 26th overall. During his senior season at Belmont University, the Atlanta native averaged 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game. He shot 47.5 percent from the field, including 41.5 percent from 3-point range. Sheppard worked out with the Pacers on June 8 and impressed the staff. Carlisle said Sheppard \u201cshowed out\u201d during the workout and \u201cplayed great\u201d on both ends. His stock began rising after the NBA Scouting Combine. He measured at 6\u20195.25\u2033 (without shoes) and 194 pounds with a 6\u20197.75\u2033 wingspan. Sheppard\u2019s all-around game his ability dribble, pass, shoot and defend made him an intriguing prospect for the team. \u201cIt appears to me that he could play some point guard in a pinch, but his natural position is two and three,\u201d Carlisle said. \u201cBut that kind of versatility is very important in today\u2019s game.\u201d Carlisle described both first-round picks as \u201cenergetic basketball junkies\u201d with \u201chigh basketball intelligence.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mojave King SG NBA G League Ignite-The 21-year-old New Zealand product has already played his fair share of professional basketball. As a teen, he played competitive basketball for the Brisbane Capitals of NBL1 North, a semi-professional league based in Australia. At the age of 17, he turned down Division I offers from the NCAA, signing instead with the developmental National Basketball League (NBL) as part of the Next Stars program. He played in that league from March 2020 through September 2022, when he signed with the NBA G League Ignite. He made the G League\u2019s inaugural Next Up Game during the 2022-2023 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His averages in the G League won\u2019t turn any heads\u20148.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists while playing 25.1 minutes per game. His athleticism (including a 42\u201d vertical leap) gives him the versatility to play guard or wing. He measured at 6\u20193.75\u2033 (without shoes) and 200 pounds with a 6\u20198\u2033 wingspan at the combine. He\u2019s widely considered to be a developmental prospect, according to the recruiting profile on NBA.com. Analysts peg him as a potential two-way role player who needs to work on his perimeter game. He worked out for the Pacers on June 10. The Pacers acquired the pick they used to draft King in a trade with the Lakers. L.A. received the Pacers\u2019 40th<\/sup> pick (acquired in an earlier trade with Denver) in exchange for cash considerations and the 47th<\/sup> pick, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaiah Wong PG Miami (Florida)-The Pacers used their final pick at number 55 on Isaiah Wong, who led Miami in scoring while winning a record 29 games and leading the Hurricanes to their first Final Four. During his final year at Miami, Wong averaged 16.2 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. He shot 44.5 percent from the field, including 38.4 percent from 3-point range. The New Jersey native was the ACC Player of the Year. Wong worked out with the Pacers on May 31, participating in one of the team\u2019s early workout sessions. He measured 6\u20192.50\u2033 (without shoes) and 178 pounds with a 6\u20196.75\u2033 wingspan at the combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
