LA Clipper fans have already come to grips with the cold reality of their draft day fortunes this year. Since acquiring Paul George, LA forfeited many of their draft picks.

Grabbing a young and talented player in this year’s draft isn’t completely out of the question, as LA has the 43rd overall pick. Still, the more premium and sought-out players will be well off the board by then.

With 29 days left until the big day, we’ve moved on to the second day of our draft installment. Yesterday, we ranked the greatest number one overall picks in franchise history. Today, we’ll be focusing on the greatest number two overall picks made in Clipper history. Let’s just right into it.
