25. LA Clippers – Chris Duarte, G, Oregon
For a team like the LA Clippers, that will hopefully just be trying to add to this current core, there might not be a better possibly selection than Chris Duarte out of Oregon. Duarte is one of the most experienced players in this draft and has great size for a guard.
I’m not sure if he’ll ever project to a starter in the NBA but if he continues to make improvements in his game there’s no question that he can be a solid rotation player in the league for many years to come.
He’d be a solid addition for any team that simply needs to add depth to its core. The one big knock on Duarte is the fact that he’s going to be 24 years old by the time the 2021-22 NBA season starts.
