| 1 | 12(12) | Yaroslav Korolev | SF | Russia |
Promises. Promises. Promises. At least the Clippers keep their promises. Head coach Mike Dunleavy fell in love with Korolev in Moscow in May at the Euroleague Final Four and has remained true ever since. But here's the issue. Korolev has never played at the senior level in Europe and he's likely two or three years away. That's OK. But when you pass on guys like Danny Granger and Antoine Wright, who could help a team fighting for the playoffs for the first time in a long time, it makes you wonder if making promises is such a wise thing.

| 2 | 2(32) | Daniel Ewing | PG | Duke |
The Clippers were hoping to get their hands on Nate Robinson. Ewing is a good fit. Shaun Livingston can play the point and Ewing can back him up. Ewing also can swing to the two when he needs to. Not a stunning pick, but it's solid.
