The LA Clippers have always found themselves near the bottom of the Western Conference barrel. In an effort to move their franchise in the right direction, they opted against the unknown and got their hands on perennial All-Star, Paul George.

In doing so, however, LA now finds itself without a first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft. Considering the likes of George, Kawhi Leonard, Reggie Jackson, Norman Powell, and several others, it’s doubtful that even the first pick in this year’s draft could’ve cracked the rotation.

Furthermore, and being candid, the Clippers have pulled off several unthinkable blunders during their fair share of drafts. With only a second-round pick this year, it’s unlikely that the Clippers will find themselves in a position to make another horrendous move. But that doesn’t mean we can’t look back and check out some of the biggest draft day head scratchers in Clippers’ history.
