Unfortunately for the LA Clippers, as a franchise, they are extremely familiar with drafting high in the draft over the years. Although this time around, due to a stacked roster that features Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Norman Powell, and Reggie Jackson, LA very much has championship aspirations and is devoid of a first-round pick in this year’s draft.

Still, while they’ll be forced to wait until the second round, 43rd overall,to make their selection, we’re continuing to look back at every pick made by the Clippers in the first round. Today, we’ve landed upon pick number 9. Let’s take a look and see if LA drafted any notable names with that selection.
