A History of Recent 48th Picks in the NBA Draft

The better of the Clippers’ two picks in the 2019 NBA Draft is the 48th pick, which is their own selection. This is right around the area when teams start selecting international stashes and long-term development projects rather than players who they think might contribute soon, and those players are always of far less interest to fans. However, like any pick, good players have been selected 48th, and the Clippers could certainly find a valuable rotation player even that deep into the draft. After all, if NBA players can be discovered at pick 56, they can be snagged eight full picks earlier too.
