They are two long and athletic guards who joined the Clippers during the NBA draft Thursday night, Robinson coming by way of the 13th selection and Gilgeous-Alexander via trade after Charlotte took him 11th overall before shipping him to the Clippers for their 12th pick of Miles Bridges and two future second-round draft picks.
Gilgeous-Alexander is the 6-foot-6 point guard with dazzling skills who shined even while playing a lone season for a star-studded Kentucky team. He had to work his way into becoming a starter with the Wildcats.
He plans to put in more work with the Clippers, his goal the same as Robinson, which is having the two of them carve out a tandem that can become a force.
