The NBA draft featured predicted top picks with Dallas Mavericks selecting Cooper Flagg first and the Spurs taking Dylan Harper second, while the Clippers focused on their positional needs. They chose 7-foot center Yanic Konan Niederhauser with the final pick, highlighting his potential to complement starter Ivica Zubac. Clippers' president Lawrence Frank emphasized the importance of selecting the best available player while also fulfilling a team-specific need, indicating confidence in Niederhauser's match with Zubac's playing style and the potential for future success together.
"We always go into the draft board looking for the best available player, and it also coincides this time with a need," said Lawrence Frank, the Clippers president of basketball operations.
"Yanic has legit positional size and I think the rim-rolling threat, combined with what Zu's play is, I think in due time will be really, really good."
