Jackson-Davis Picked 57th by Washington
BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Former Indiana guard Jalen Hood-Schifino was selected with the 17th pick by the Los Angeles Lakers, while forward Trayce Jackson-Davis was picked with the 57th pick by the Washington Wizards and traded to the Golden State Warriors, pending league approval, in the 2023 NBA Draft.
The Hoosiers have had a Big Ten-best 79 players (Michigan ranks second with 78) selected in the NBA Draft since the inception of the event in 1947. Of the 79 players selected, 27 have heard their name called during the first round.
The draft marked the first time since 2017 in which two Hoosiers earned selections. Both O.G. Anunoby (23rd overall by Toronto) and Thomas Bryant (42nd overall by Utah) were picked in '17. Indiana has produced multiple draft picks in the same class on 14 occasions, including a program record five selections in 1983.

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.
The Pittsburgh native earned second team All-Big Ten plaudits, was named to the All-Big Ten Freshman Team, earned a spot on the USBWA All-District V list, and was a Kyle Macy National Freshman of the Year finalist. He also claimed Big Ten Freshman of the Week four times and was named the league's Player of the Week on Feb. 27.
Indiana men's basketball head coach Mike Woodson on Jalen Hood-Schifino
"His ceiling is very high. When I recruited him, I thought he had all the pro tendencies. When he came in here, he did everything so professionally, on and off the court, that you knew he had an opportunity to play at the next level. I thought the process was sped up because we did a lot of things to help him from an NBA standpoint. And he excelled. We kind of threw him to the wolves after Xavier Johnson got hurt and he never let us down. He did a lot of wonderful things during that time that has put him in this position. I think the sky is the limit for him. Los Angeles Lakers got a solid player on and off the floor that's going to work his tail off. That's all you can ask from a rookie coming in. He'll learn the NBA and we'll be talking about him probably 10 years down the road because he'll have a solid career in the NBA."
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. He posted the highest scoring average by an IU player since 2008 (Eric Gordon), highest rebounding rate since 1972 (Steve Downing), and highest block production since 1988 (Dean Garrett).
He finished his career as the school record holder in career rebounds (1,143) and career blocks (270), while claiming the third spot in both career points (2,258) and career double-doubles (50). TJD tallied 11 30-point games, 24 games with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds, 112 games with double-digit scoring performances (including 45-straight to end his career), 105 games with at least one block, and 78 games with two-or-more blocks.
The former Mr. Basketball in the state of Indiana won the Karl Malone Award for the nation's best power forward, was selected to the John R. Wooden Award Men's national ballot, earned a semifinalist spot for the Naismith Men's Defensive Player of the Year, earned All-District honors from both the NABC and USBWA, was unanimously selected first team All-Big Ten by both the coaches and the media, made both the All-Big Ten Defensive Team and the Big Ten All-Tournament Team, and was named the league's player of the week on five occasions.
Indiana men's basketball head coach Mike Woodson on Trayce Jackson-Davis
"It is scary how far Trayce Jackson-Davis has come. The things I have shown him, he's done. He rebounded the ball, he had high assists, he had blocks, he had big nights scoring the ball, rebounding the ball. There is nothing he cannot do. He has been questioned about his jump shot, but I think this summer he has been proving people wrong there in the camps that he's attended, where he had to work and show these general managers and presidents of these teams, these scouts, that he can shoot the basketball. So, again, the sky is the limit for him. He is ready for the NBA because he is so athletic and can do a lot of things. He can get up and down the floor and finish around the rim. Golden State got a hell of a player."
