Summary

The Los Angeles Clippers aim to replenish their roster using the fifth overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft on June 23. Following a mediocre season, the team is exploring options among a strong list of guard prospects, including Darius Garland, who was acquired before the trade deadline. Mock drafts suggest potential selections include Kingston Flemings from Houston and Keaton Wagler from Illinois. The Clippers also consider a forward, depending on the future of Kawhi Leonard, who may still be traded despite a projected return to the team.
