SF/PF. Kentucky. Kevin Knox. 13. player. 77.

The Clippers get to add a pair of Kentucky teammates with Knox and Gilgeous-Alexander. Knox is one of the more raw forwards in the lottery discussion, but his upside as a go-to scorer is something the Clippers should covet.

Knox can play either forward spot, which means fitting next to Tobias Harris isn’t an issue. He’s already a smart cutter with a handful of nifty moves around the basket. His spot-up shooting improved as the season went on as well. Now it’s about polishing the in-between stuff.

If Knox can develop reliable handles and become more consistent off the bounce, he has the makings of somebody who can outperform his draft slot. The Clippers get upside and chemistry with these two picks.
