Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the guard that I most wanted. I guess Jerry really loves Jerome Robinson, hope he turns out to be pretty good. He's not the guy I wanted to draft.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

From Kawhi and Doncic to Jerome freaking Robinson. I'm just speechless at the ineptitude of this franchise. I guess this team is just never going to address the wing situation.

Puke-Worthy Pick

This guy better be the second-coming because this is a horrible pick from out of left field. I have faith in Jerry West but this needs major convincing to sell me on this not being a huge reach when more notable prospects were still available.

I'm not buying the narrative that Jerry likes him. I think this is the Clippers putting Jerry's name on a Doc/Frank pick to try to make it more palatable for the fans.

So you’re saying Doc and Frank made a conscious decision they think is a bad one and are pretending they didn’t make it. Mmkay.

To be honest, I like Robinson's scoring prowess.

But #13, with MPJr available?

No, just no. Trade down if this is your guy.

I'm surprised that Michael Porter Jr fell this far, I thought maybe we would have drafted him

Nuggets drafting Porter. They're a much smarter, better franchise than the Clippers, that's for sure.

I’m glad we didn’t take Porter. This franchise’s entire history is disappointment that their best players can’t stay healthy. I don’t like Robinson as a value pick, but I’m giving him a chance.

I know the Bucks really loved Jerome, so why didn't we just do 13 for 16 + 31 or future SRP? :crazy: :crazy:

Would've taken the chance to be great at #13 with MPJ. Denver taks the chance with the next pick.

Robinson is nice all around on offense but is equally as bad all-around defensively.

Same...
I can't belive it. I've waited for this day for so long. Lonnie was my favorite prospect but there were at least 5 players left that I would be happy with. but THIS GUY... God damn it
I hope we trade everything

We have ten guards on our roster. What on Earth is this front office thinking?

Omg same here. I was super happy with the trade. But I was equally dissappinted with Jones pick.
