Los Angeles Clippers: 5 options for pick No. 13 in 2018 NBA Draft
The Los Angeles Clippers ended up getting rid of all the players in the lob city era (except for DeAndre Jordan) and ended up rebuilding. With possibly two lottery picks who should the Clippers bring in?
The Los Angeles Clippers were able to finish above .500 this season at 42-40, but it didn’t result a playoff berth. After the Blake Griffin trade, the Clippers were able to get a top-four protected first round pick from the Detroit Pistons.
They also will have their own pick, which had a 96 percent chance of being 13th. The best idea might be to package those two picks and try to move up in the draft to get a better player.
The goal for the Clippers should be to get the best players that they can in the draft since they are rebuilding.
With players like DeAndre Jordan, Austin Rivers and Milos Teodosic possibly leaving this summer, the Clippers will need players that can come in and play and help get the organization going in the right direction.
Assuming the Clippers will pick from No. 12 and No. 13, there should be some quality players available for them choose from.
When you think about the fact that rookies this year produced at a high level and this draft looks to be a deep draft in the lottery, getting a good player should not be hard for the Clips, especially with two lottery picks.
Here are the five best options for the Clippers for their own draft pick at No. 13.
