12. Los Angeles Clippers: Collin Sexton, PG, Alabama

Big Board Rank: 9

This would probably be the most intimidating backcourt defensively in the entire NBA. Having the in your face mentality that Patrick Beverly and Collin Sexton possesses would lead to some scary competitive practices and games. Hopefully this becomes infectious for the whole locker room.

Sexton fits in well with the Clippers offensive scheme as well. None of their starters are ball dominant players, and Sexton isn’t advanced in the pick and roll, but working it with DeAndre Jordan should make life a lot easier for him. Hoping that DeAndre Jordan opts into a his player contract.

With the improved playmaking Sexton has been showing lately he should be able to operate with a ton of floor spacing to get to the rim with Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris, Lou Williams, and Gallinari. Collin Sexton should be able to get into the lane score, draw fouls, and create for his teammates.
