Several former Indiana high school boys basketball players were on the move this week with the impending NBA trade deadline on Thursday afternoon.

Few states do a better job of sending talent to the professional ranks than Indiana, so it’s not surprising that so many players found themselves on new teams. It became a bit of a running joke as Thursday wore on, with more and more talent from the Hoosier State popping up in trade news.

Here’s who was moved:

Eric Gordon, North Central High School – Indianapolis

• From Philadelphia 76ers to Memphis Grizzlies
• Gordon, who’s been in the NBA since 2008, starred at Indiana for one season under head coach Kelvin Sampson. It’ll be interesting to see where his career goes from here as one of the oldest active players in the league.

Mike Conley Jr., Lawrence North High School – Indianapolis

• From Minnesota Timberwolves to Charlotte Hornets (waived)
• Conley starred at Lawrence North alongside Greg Oden before the two took their talents to Ohio State and Thad Matta. Like Gordon, it’ll be interesting to see where Conley goes from here after being waived by the Hornets.

Jaren Jackson Jr., Park Tudor/La Lumiere – Indianapolis/La Porte

• From Memphis Grizzlies to Utah Jazz
• Jackson Jr. was sent to the Jazz as the Grizzlies undergo what looks to be a franchise rebuild. With plenty of younger stars in Utah, it’ll be interesting to see how Jackson fits into that mix.

Jaden Ivey, Marian High School/La Lumiere – Mishawaka/La Porte

• From Detroit Pistons to Memphis Grizzlies
• Ivey spent two seasons starring at Purdue and developing before being selected in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft. He’ll look for a fresh start in Chicago as he looks to fit into a rotation that figures to feature plenty of talent in the backcourt.

Trayce Jackson Davis, Center Grove High School – Greenwood

• From Golden State Warriors to Toronto Raptors
• Jackson-Davis spent four seasons starring at Indiana before being selected by the Warriors in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft. He was a rotational piece with Golden State and battled for minutes in the frontcourt, so it’ll be interesting to see what kind of chance he’ll be given with the Raptors.
