2018 NBA Mock Draft 2.0: Cleveland Cavaliers select Wendell Carter Jr.
Once a much higher pick, Knox has fallen to the back of the back end of the lottery. Calipari’s University of Kentucky has produced phenomenal basketball talent, yet at the same time, handfuls of busts have come from most of his players leaving after just one year.
With back-to-back picks at 12 and 13, I think the Clippers will try to manage this draft with full intentions of keeping DeAndre Jordan. Along with Patrick Beverly on his way back from injury, the Clippers would aim at two small forwards.
The next one being Miles Bridges, a bigger more powerful guard, and with this pick, Knox, a more versatile swingman.
Knox scored 15.6 points per game during his freshman season at Kentucky and averaged 1.5 threes during his lone season. Knox is a pure breed scorer. That is exactly what the Clippers will be looking for.
