Indiana basketball guard Jalen Hood-Schifino was selected No. 17 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023 NBA Draft on Thursday night.

The Big Ten Freshman of the Year averaged 13.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this past season.

Ahead of the draft, NBA TV analyst Brendan Haywood saw Hood-Schifino as someone who will be ‘one of the biggest steals’ of draft night.

“I think we can go with (Jalen) Hood-Schifino. I think he can definitely be one of the biggest steals,” Haywood said on Wednesday night. “When I watched him play at Indiana this year — that big guard, get downhill, aggressive (player). I just like the way he plays. That’s what the NBA is all about.”

Hood-Schifino becomes the 78th overall player drafted in Indiana basketball history and the 27th player in the first round.

Below is the replay of NBA Commissioner Adam Silver with the announcement of Jalen Hood-Schifino to the Lakers.
