Texas forward Kai Jones and Arkansas guard Moses Moody will each work out privately with the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday, the team announced on Monday.
Jones was named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 8.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 26 games last season on 38.2% shooting from 3-point range. He projects to fill a few needs as a player that can defend the paint and space the floor.
Moody was named the SEC Freshman of the Year after averaging 16.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and one steal in 32 games with the Razorbacks. He was one of three freshmen in the country to average at least 15 points and five rebounds.
