2021 NBA Mock Draft — 25. Tre Mann, LA Clippers

With Reggie Jackson in line for a huge payday and Rajon Rondo on his last legs, the Clippers could use some help in the backcourt. Tre Mann came on strong at the end of the season for Florida, and cemented his status as a first-round pick. Mann has the tools to develop into a deadly offensive player in the NBA.

At 6-foot-4, Mann wields a slippery handle and knockdown jumper to his utmost advantage. He’s not explosive, but he can change speeds on a dime, with step-backs and crossovers galore. His 3-point range extends well past the NBA line, with the ability to play on or off-ball next to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

Mann will need to improve defensively to reach his ceiling in the NBA, but the Clippers are sorely lacking in perimeter offense outside of their star duo. Terrance Mann could provide a solution of sorts, but LA would be smart to get another shot-maker on board. Preferably one with (Tre) Mann’s aptitude for running the show.
