Some of the toughest spots to find top-tier talent can be the mid-to-late lottery. With the Clippers sitting at No. 12 and 13 in the June draft, they had two chances to get it right.

In the Summer League slate, it already appeared SGA was above and beyond most others in Vegas. Now, we get to see if that translates in a crowded LA backcourt during the regular season.
