In the first round of the NBA Draft, the Clippers selected guard Keaton Wagler, the player who had been most widely mocked to them since the draft lottery.
Tonight, the Clippers have picks 36 and 52 in the second round. I have not paid much attention to the second round due to the focus on pick 5 and the top of the lottery, and it’s tough to mock anyone that deep in the draft considering how many players go before them.
Here are a few names that I like that are currently available (I’d guess several of them go before the Clippers pick at 36): Henri Veesaar (big man, UNC), Baba Miller (forward, Cincinnati), Isaiah Evans (guard, Duke), Meleek Thomas (guard, Alabama), Richie Saunders (wing, BYU), Emanuel Sharp (guard, Houston), Bruce Thornton (guard, Ohio State).
We will keep an eye out for any trades or movement as the draft approaches.
