INDIANAPOLIS -- Thursday night's NBA Draft may have just become a little less exciting for Indiana Pacers fans.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports, the Pacers traded their First Round pick (the 20th overall pick) to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for power forward Thaddeus Young. The Pacers will also send the Nets a future protected second-round pick, according to sources Wojnarowski spoke to.
Young, 28, adds depth for the Pacers to plug in at the small forward and power forward positions to supplement Paul George.
Young averaged 15.1 points per game for the Nets last season on 51 percent shooting. He also pulled down 9 rebounds per game, adding to the Pacers' game on the boards. Young is slated to make $13 million in each of the next two seasons under his current contract.
Brooklyn has traded forward Thad Young to the Indiana Pacers for the 20th pick and a future 2nd rounder, league sources tell @TheVertical.

The Pacers could still move players around and re-enter the first round of the draft Thursday night, but otherwise they'll have just one second-round selection, the 50th overall pick.
