Filling the hole
Season done,
lottery won, and the Clippers are at an integral junction in their journey back
to the top of the west.
Whilst the
lottery unfortunately went exactly as expected the Clippers expected are still left
with a staggering 6 first round draft picks starting with pick number #11 in
the 2023 NSL draft
With clear
needs at both the center and point guard positions it looks as though #11 will
be the spot to pick up a lead guard unless of course Victor falls 10 spots and
to the laps of LAC. I regress, with several point guards projected to fall
within this late lotto range it very likely that�s exactly the route the LAC GM
will go. But who?
Anthony is a huge lead guard out of Arkansas standing
6�7 he is a polished half court player and a plus defender would probably have been
projected higher if his shooting was a little better. (Sounds a lot like the
Giddey comps?)
Cason is arguably not only the best defender amongst
his point guard peers but best defender in the whole 2023 draft.
Jalen is the point guard on the rise in this draft possessing
measurables that would be coveted by teams standing 6�5 with a 6�10 wingspan. He
is good across the board regarding skills. But not elite in any area.
4.
Kobe Bufkin
Kobe is an uber talented guard (ever heard that line
before) who could easily outperform his draft position. Another prospect with
plus size at just under 6�5 with a 6�8 wingspan. Kobe is a good half court
player and had good shooting splits in his sophomore season on a very small
sample size.
Point Guards contracted.
Ayo Donsunmu
$1,563,512 (RFA)
With RJ heading
back to the SG position for the 2023/24 NSL season the only recognized point
guard on the Clippers roster is Ayo.
While it�s a rather
sad situation for LA at the point guard spot, it is exciting at the prospect of
adding some fresh blood to the young core.
And while its
almost a lock LAC will go PG early, we won�t hesitate to take a player that falls
from an earlier drafted slot as purely the best player available.
The option is
also there to trade out of the draft for more established talent in line with
current team projections�
