With the 2018 NBA Draft hours away, more and more rumors are beginning to swirl about what the Los Angeles Clippers plan to do with their draft picks.

As of right now, the Los Angeles Clippers own the No. 12 and No. 13 picks in the NBA Draft. That can change. LA has expressed interest in moving into the top-four, with hopes of drafting European sensation Luka Doncic.

Aside from their public interest in acquiring Doncic, the Clippers have been linked to a plethora of players. It’s unclear as to who the Clippers will be drafting later tonight. Lawrence Frank came out and said they plan on drafting the two best players available. Today, a report came out saying the Clippers are targeting a point-guard at No. 12. Colin Sexton, Trae Young, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are among the notable names.

However, it appears there is one point guard that Jerry West is really high on.

This comes as a surprise, as Robinson hasn’t been linked this high in any notable mock drafts. Robinson just wrapped up his junior season at Boston College. During his junior campaign, the 21-year old averaged nearly 21 points a game, while shooting 48 percent from the field and 40 percent from deep. In 36 minutes per game, he also averaged about three rebounds and three assists.

It still is unclear if the Clippers would take him with one of their lottery picks. They potentially  could trade back and draft him later in the first round. If the Clippers do snag him at No. 12 or No. 13, then there’s definitely something Jerry West knows that we don’t.

If that is the case, in the logo we trust!
