77. . G. Alabama. Collin Sexton. 12. player

Collin Sexton could be the scoring guard of the future that the Clippers need. He showed his competitiveness at Alabama this season when he played three versus five when his teammates were ejected. You read that right. Not only did he play three versus five, he managed to help Alabama almost win while scoring 40 points.

Sexton has a lot of guards in front of him with the Clippers backcourt logjam, but with Jerry West consulting the team, things could change quickly. Sexton is 6-foot-2 and could be an offensive force. However, he needs a little work on the defensive end. He also isn’t a traditional point guard, having only averaged a little over three assists per game during his time at Alabama. Sexton is just 19 years old, so there is definitely room for him to grow as a player. The Clippers could have a home run here with the No. 12 pick and Sexton is definitely worth the risk.
