Gordon Hayward would love to play for his hometown Indiana Pacers.

However, he realizes that playing for the Pacers would also bring added pressure.

"I think playing at home, there is that extra pressure with me growing up there my whole life and the Pacers are going through some struggles right now," Hayward said Thursday. "But for me, it would be special to play anywhere."

Indiana has the No. 10 pick in next month's NBA Draft and some have projected Hayward to go as high as the tenth in the first round.
