Eric Patten: A-
Some of the toughest spots to find top-tier talent can be the mid-to-late lottery. With the Clippers sitting at No. 12 and 13 in the June draft, they had two chances to get it right. With Gilgeous-Alexander (via a trade up with Charlotte), the Clippers seemingly nailed it. SGA presents both an opportunity for the franchise to have a modern two-way guard in the future and see immediate dividends. In the Summer League slate, it already appeared SGA was above and beyond most others in Vegas. Now, we get to see if that translates in a crowded LA backcourt during the regular season.
