Five Players the Los Angeles Clippers Could Trade Up For in the Draft
Collin Sexton, PG, Alabama
2017-2018 statistics: 19.2 PPG, 3.8 RPG, 3.6 APG
We’ve already said quite a few things about Collin Sexton, in case you’re wondering just how good he is. He’s also the least likely player that the Clippers will need to trade up to get, since he’s been projected to fall within the team’s range. But if they must, LA should consider pulling the trigger and trading up to get Sexton, who could become the best point guard in the class.
Sexton is a top-tier guard, with extreme athletic ability. He’s drawn comparisons to former Clippers draftee Eric Bledsoe because of it.
He’s not a pass-first guard, so he could be playing off the ball for the majority of his rookie season.
Wherever he goes, some team will be getting a steal. Sexton is legit, and the Clippers would be wise to trade up if they must.
