With 23 games left in the NBA season, the LA Clippers are continuing to fight for a playoff spot. Should they make the postseason, the team’s first round pick will be traded to the Boston Celtics. However, should they just miss, the team will keep their pick and end up in the late lottery.
There’s no certainty in which way the remainder of the season will play out, especially with the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers right on the Clips’ tail.
For that reason, we need to start looking at late lottery prospects in case we do miss the postseason.
