Welcome to our 2021-22 Clips Nation season preview series, where we’re digging into something that interests us about each player for this coming season. Next up, can Brandon Boston Jr. prove his lottery-level talent this season?
Less than two weeks ago, the 51st pick of the 2021 NBA Draft, Brandon Boston Jr., was informed by Ty Lue that he would be starting in the Clippers’ first preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. “When he told me that,” Boston Jr. stated, “I was just like, ‘let’s do it, I’m ready.’” His NBA readiness was apparent in that debut, as the 19-year old dropped 10 points and grabbed four boards before ending with a late-game defensive stop to secure the win.
