The Clippers made their draft selection official by selecting UNC forward Brice Johnson in the NBA Draft.
Johnson was available when the Clippers selected at twenty-five, despite being predicted earlier. At 21-years-old, Johnson could develop into a critical role player for Los Angeles immediately, but he could turn into something better.
Johnson’s 6-foot, 9-inch frame gives him tremendous upside on the Clippers bench. His athleticism and length will mesh will with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
Many mock drafts expected the Clippers would select DeAndre Bembry at No. 25 overall.
