Clipper’s Draft
Big board
Coming into
the time of the season when LAC management start looking towards the draft and
post season frivolities, currently sitting toward the bottom of the NSL league
and in line for what could be a high lottery pick.
Every season
we go into the draft we set the number one drafting rule “do NOT draft for need
over best player available a rule we broke last NSL draft.
1. Alexander Saar – France (Perth Wildcats, NBL)
Ok don’t draft
for need rule doesn’t apply when the player is also atop of the best player
available list too. Saar would be the perfect fit next to Clipper PF Paolo
Banchero. Let’s go lottery gods make it happen.
2. Cody Williams – Colorado.
6’8 SF out
of Colorado is the younger brother of current Clipper Jalen William, Cody is
taller than his older brother but offers many of the same skills Jalen had coming
out of Santa Clara. With a good feel for the game. Will Cody might be bigger
than Jalen, he is also thinly framed and may need some time to develop his
body.
3. Ron Holland – G-league Ignite.
Ron will be
the youngest player to be draft (if drafted) at 18 years a dog on the defensive
end and an athletic downhill scorer he is a little stiff as a shooter but has
the “potential “to be a great 2-way wing
4. Kel’el Ware – Indiana
Probably not
as high on a lot of big boards, it’s just hard to ignore the size and athleticism
combination. A genuine shot blocking 7-footer with a developing outside game. One
thing that can’t be ignored is the almost lazy way he plays.
5. Stephon Castle - UConn
A very good
player with a doggedness about him, and a great feel for the game. If Stephon
had a reliable shot, he would be easily the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. That said
his hustle, feel for the game and defense is enough to get him on the court. The
ceiling is about whether NBA coaches can get his shot to an NBA average level.
Regardless
of the draft outcome the LA Clippers are excited for the remainder of the NSL
season and an epic NSL playoffs where the winner could genuinely be anyone of several
great teams.
