No. 11 NBA Draft picks: Hits and misses

Are you a Frank Kaminsky fan? Maybe you prefer the hometown feel with Trey Lyles. Do the Indiana Pacers need to go big (Myles Turner) or small (Cameron Payne)?

Those are a few of the prominent names associated with the Pacers, who are scheduled to select 11th Thursday night (7 p.m., ESPN) in the NBA Draft.

Can the Pacers lock in on a Hall of Famer with the pick? They did once at No. 11, taking Reggie Miller in 1987.

However, you can't count on grabbing a keeper at that spot. Here's a look at the past decade of No. 11 picks.

2014

Doug McDermott, Bulls: He averaged 3.0 points per game in 36 appearances this season. He was drafted by the Denver Nuggets but traded to the Bulls in a deal that included Gary Harris, a former IndyStar Mr. Basketball from Hamilton Southeastern High School.

2013

Michael Carter-Williams, Sixers: He earned Rookie of the Year honors with averages of 16.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists. He was traded to Milwaukee in the middle of this season, and was an effective guard for a playoff team.

Who was gone ... Anthony Bennett was picked No. 1 overall, and he has been a bit player for Cleveland and Minnesota, averaging 4.7 points for losing teams.

Who was available ... It's hard to go wrong with the ROY, but quite a few players picked lower have shown flashes: Kelly Olynyk (13th, Boston), Giannis Antekounmpo (15th, Milwaukee), Mason Plumlee (22nd, Brooklyn) and Rudy Gobert (27th, Utah) are a few.

2012

Meyers Leonard, Blazers: He has started to come into his own as a capable 3-point shooter as well as a post defender. He shot 42 percent from long range this season and averaged 4.5 rebounds.

Who was gone ... Thomas Robinson was taken fifth but has yet to find a place. He has already played for four teams, finishing this season with the Sixers, where he averaged 8.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in 22 games.

Who was available ... Draymond Green went 35th overall to Golden State, and he has been a key contributor to the NBA champs. He averaged 11.7 points and 8.2 rebounds while hitting 111 3-pointers.

2011

Klay Thompson, Warriors: He's a Splash Brother, averaging 21.7 points and hitting 239 3-pointers this season for the league champs.

Who was gone ... Thompson has fared much better than everyone in that draft except for No. 1 overall pick Kyrie Irving of Cleveland. Of note: Bismack Biyombo (4.4 points, 6.1 rebounds in four years) was taken seventh.

Who was available ... Kawhi Leonard was picked 15th by the Indiana Pacers, but he was sent to San Antonio as part of a trade that brought George Hill back to Indianapolis.

2010

Cole Aldrich, Thunder: He has been primarily a bench post player for four teams, although he started 16 for the Knicks this season. He had career-best averages of 5.5 points and 5.5 rebounds this year in New York.

Who was gone ... Ekpe Udoh (4.0 points, 3.2 rebounds for three teams) was taken sixth.

Who was available ... Eric Bledsoe, picked 18th by the Clippers, found life the past two seasons in Phoenix, averaging 17.7 and 17.0 points. Also, Lance Stephenson was taken 40th by the Pacers, for whatever that's worth.

2009

Terrence Williams, Nets: He played for four teams over four seasons, compiling career averages of 7.1 points and 2.4 assists. He has been out of the league for two years.

Who was gone ... Hasheem Thabeet was taken No. 2 overall. He did even less for four teams and was out of the league this season. Jonny Flynn, who played three years, was taken sixth.

Who was available ... The Pacers took Tyler Hansbrough 13th, passing on Jrue Holiday (17th), Ty Lawson (18th) and Pike High School's Jeff Teague (19th). He's the starting point guard for Atlanta, an Eastern Conference finalist.

2008

Jerryd Bayless, Pacers: He was selected by the Pacers but was part of a deal that brought Brandon Rush, Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts to Indiana. Bayless has played for six teams, and this year averaged 7.8 points off the bench for Milwaukee.

Who was gone ... Michael Beasley, who was taken No. 2 overall, has shown flashes of skill and immaturity over the years. Joe Alexander, picked eighth, lasted parts of two years, partly due to injuries.

Who was available .... DeAndre Jordan -- despite his free throw shooting woes -- has proven to be a steal at No. 35 for the Clippers. He led the NBA in rebounding the past two seasons and shot 71 percent from the field this season.

2007

Acie Law, Hawks: He had little impact for six teams over four years.

Who was gone ... Greg Oden went first overall.

Who was available ... Marc Gasol was picked 48th by the Lakers, but he has been the Grizzlies' starting center for seven years. He won Defensive Player of the Year in 2013.

2006

J.J. Redick, Magic: He was a bench player in Orlando for six-plus years but became a starter for the Clippers. He averaged a career-high 16.4 points per game this season.

Who was gone ... Adam Morrison (No. 3), Patrick O'Brant (No. 9) and Mouhamed Sene (No. 10) were off the board, and not long for the league.

Who was available ... Rajon Rondo went No. 21. He helped Boston win a championship, and he once led the league in steals and twice in assists. More recently, he quit on Dallas in the first round of the playoffs.

2005

Fran Vasquez, Magic: He never played in the NBA.

Who was gone ... Former Pacers Ike Diogu (No. 9) and Andrew Bynum (No. 10) went immediately before Vasquez.

Who was available ... The Pacers got Danny Granger at No. 17, and he averaged 17.6 points per game over parts of nine seasons. He earned one All-Star Game bid and was named the league's Most Improved Player in 2009. David Lee was picked 30th.

Other No. 11s you might recall

Jared Jeffries from Indiana University went 11th to the Wizards in 2002. He built a career out of defending the opposition's best scoring forward -- mostly in Washington and New York -- over 11 seasons.

Bonzi Wells, out of Muncie Central High School and Ball State, went No. 11 in 1998. He played nine seasons, averaging 12.1 points per game.

Robert Horry, No. 11 in 1992, provided critical shots in critical games for Houston, the Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio over 16 seasons. He was part of seven championship teams.
