"Eric Gordon was our man all the way." – Vice President Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor

"(The Clippers) "…may have enjoyed the best draft. Aside from Gordon, they nailed DeAndre Jordan, a steal at No. 35, and Mike Taylor at No. 55, first player taken from the D-League. Expect both second rounders to make team…" – Peter Vecsey, New York Post/Hoop DuJour

"Anytime you get a player you targeted, you feel good about it. He was our target early on." – Los Angeles Clippers Head Coach Mike Dunleavy

"Gordon is a brilliant shooter/scorer who’s got a motor and tons of talent." – David Thorpe, ESPN.com

"The Clippers luck out, after all. He’s a scoring machine." – Mark Heisler, L.A. Times

"Gordon is a prolific scorer and has good outside shooting ability and was regarded as a top-three pick for most of the season." – Ramona Shelburne, L.A. Daily News

"Gordon will be given time immediately and has all the makings of a star. Jordan, once considered a top-five prospect, slid into the second round and arrives in L.A. with virtually no risk attached at all. He's 6-foot-11, 250-pounds and has nearly as much upside as anyone in the draft. Should he turn into anything close to the next Dwight Howard, as he has been compared to, this would be one of the better picks in recent memory." – Ken Duffy, Foxsports.com

"Gordon fills the need for a scoring guard. Meanwhile, the 7-footer Jordan has to be considered a steal at that spot on the board." – Marty Burns, CNNSI.com

"The Clippers have a huge hole in their backcourt and Eric Gordon will really help them there. He can be a star: He is strong, can shoot the long ball and can be a tough defender." – Chad Ford, ESPN.com

"(DeAndre Jordan)… "He's huge and athletic, and he played well when he got minutes at Texas A&M. NBA scouts would have ranked him as one of the top-five prospects in 2009. At No. 35, there is no risk and only upside for the Clippers. They have to be thrilled." – Chad Ford, ESPN.com
