With superstars, Blake Griffin and Chris Paul playing beside each other, this Clipper team has been very exciting to watch. With all of thier young talent and thier veterans they have not been able to really play as a team yet. A good comparisen would be the Heat last year or the Knicks, who have a bunch of talent but do not know how to come together on the court. To get Chris Paul they had to give up some draft slots so they are left at a pretty tight spot. They are projected to have one pick in the mid-late second round. Since they already have Griffin and Jordan down lown, they should probably search for a guard. Some players that they could snag are players that I have mentioned before such as Tyshawn Taylor and J'Covan Brown. Although those two are both solid guards I believe if the Clippers are lucky enough or trade up they should select Will Barton from Memphis. This guy can control the tempo of the game whenever he wants and wherever he wants. He has a nice jump shot, some explosive moves to the basket and is great at finding the big man down low for an easy two points. Barton has an advantage over some small shooting guards because he stands at 6-6 which is on the taller side for a shooting guard. This year at Memphis along with scoring over 18 points and dishing out three assists per game, he was also able to average 8 rebounds per game. Kobe Bryant, hands down the best shooting guard in league is the same height as Barton but he averages a little over 5 rebounds per game. Even though there is quite a diffeence between the NCAA and the NBA, when Barton improves on his strength and his transition to the NBA, he will be all set. This guy is the complete package and the Clipps should try and snag him.
