Grading the Last 5 LA Clippers 1st Round Picks #nba #nbadraft #clippers
let’s read the last five LA Clippers first round picks This dates all the way back to 2016 Their most recent first round pick was the 30th overall selection during the 2023 draft The last pick in the first round they selected Kobe Brown out of Missouri Kobe Brown is still under his rookie deal right now so I can’t put it at an F but I got to give it a D He has not been great so far as the 30th overall pick And then they traded with the New York Knicks on the night of the 2021 draft to take a Tennessee Volunteer by the name of Keon Johnson Johnson has turned into a fine rotational player but more so with the Nets here in 2025 I’m going to give this selection also a D So we haven’t had some positive grades so far This one is going to be as positive as you can get 2018 they swap picks to move up one spot to select Shay Gilligas Alexander from the Charlotte Hornets They took Shay out of Kentucky and Shay just won the 2025 MVP They took somebody that eventually became a top player in the NBA and they were able to get one good rookie season out of him to flip him in the main asset for Paul George from the Oklahoma City Thunder who was looked at as a top 10 player in the NBA But one pick after Shay they reached on a player from Boston College Jerome Robinson the shooting guard This has to be an F Michael Porter Jr went one pick later Robinson played 75 games across a year and a half with the LA Clippers and averaged 3.1 points They didn’t have a first round in 2017 so we’re going to go back to 2016 They took a Tarheel legend Bryce Johnson with the 25th overall pick I also have to give this an F He only spent 12 total games with the Clippers before getting traded to the Grizzlies in the 2018 season Played nine more games in Memphis and has not played in the NBA since Let me know what team I should grade their last five picks with

Geez, Clips really haven’t hit on anyone in the draft since Blake Griffin (other than SGA ofc, but he was traded)
Vid 11 of asking for magic next pls
honestly, curious on what grade you’d give the Grizzlies five last 1st round picks
Keon Johnson is not a D bro
Pacers
Even with new owners, the Clippers tradition of not drafting well lives on
Pistons plz
Jazz
Raptors
As a clippers fan, I remember how pissed I was that we took Jerome Robinson. I wanted SGA and MPJ and they fell right into our lap. Also makes you wonder if we could have flipped MPJ instead of SGA, or at the least how MPJ would have helped the Kawhi PG clips teams
warriors lst 5 picks
Do the pacers
Bucks
Cavs
UTAH JAZZ!!!! GET IT RIGHT, DANGIT!
Fire L Frank
Raptors please!
Please do Thunder next
Raptors please
Indiana

Sga for paul george and finals mvp kawhi leonard ….thumbs down on this video for lack of facts….also noting the clippers hit on serviceable Terrance mann in the 2nd round, and amir coffey undrafted, and mussa diabate 2nd round
