25. LA Clippers – Cameron Thomas, G, LSU

The LA Clippers might make the NBA Finals if it wasn’t for a freak injury to Kawhi Leonard. Nevertheless, this is a team that could be a move or two away from winning a championship. One fit for the Clippers is Cameron Thomas.

Thomas is an interesting offensive player that could grow into a role for the Clippers off the bench. He’ll need some time to develop but the Clippers would be a good landing spot for him.

26. Denver Nuggets – Sharife Cooper, G, Auburm

The Denver Nuggets are another Western Conference contender that will likely need to add some depth during the offseason. Especially if they lose a player as valuable such as Will Barton during free agency.

Sharife Cooper isn’t exactly a replacement but is a player that has the potential to grow into a potential rotation piece.
