3. Ty Jerome – Virginia

Jerome is another player that may be out of reach with where the Clippers currently stand as many mocks have Jerome as a late first-rounder.

Standing 6-foot-6, Jerome can play either guard position but has solid playmaking ability and plays the pick-and-roll very well, something Trezz and Lou excelled in this season. His passing was unmatched over much of the season and he was a huge reason why Virginia became champions this past collegiate season.

Jerome can also spot up from behind the arc as he was a 39.5% three-point shooter over his college career. He ranked sixth in catch-and-shoot efficiency (Keep in mind he played in the tough ACC) and can shoot off of solid screens.

These all sound like major positives. The only negative is that LA would have to trade up to get Jerome, but the reward would likely be worth it.

Jerome, Lou, Trezz, Green and Robinson would make for a fun bench for Doc Rivers and would be known for its scoring, but Jerome misses out on the top two due to his likelihood of being out of reach.
