Post Draft Q&A with Chris Wilcox

Q: What are your thoughts?
Wilcox: I think it will be a great thing for me to go to the Clippers. There are a lot of young guys on the Clippers and they are an upcoming team and I think I would fit in well out there.

Q: How will you fit?
Wilcox: I think I’ll fit good. Those guys like to run the ball and that’s part of my game, so I think I’ll fit in well.

Q: Are you disappointed that you weren’t picked by New York?

Wilcox: A little bit, but everything happens for a reason. I just want to make it into a positive and have a great season for the Clippers. It really doesn’t matter to me because I’m not with the Knicks. Now I’m just hoping everything works out well for me, and hopefully I have a great career in this league.

Q: Are you looking forward to playing with Elton Brand?
Wilcox: Yeah, it would be a great thing with both of us having ties to the North Carolina area. It will be great to go to war with those guys and have them help me get better.

Q: Do you worry about playing time?
Wilcox: No. This is the normal experience for everybody. I just want to go in there and play my game, and hopefully I can get a spot, but if not, it will come in time.

Q: Were you hoping to be in New York? Wilcox: Yeah. There was a lot of talk than the Knicks wanted me bad. I thought I was coming to New York, but it didn’t work out and I don’t mind going to the Clippers. They’re a great team, and hopefully I can help that team win some more games.
