WELCOME KAMAN AND SCHORTSANITIS!
Clippers VP of Basketball Operations Elgin Baylor and his staff pored over talent across the globe in preparation for the 2003 NBA Draft, and emerged with two talented big men in Central Michigan's Chris Kaman and Sofoklis Schortsanitis from Greece. However, while Kaman looks to join the Clippers front court immediately, odds are great that Schortsanitis will spend at least another year in Greece before joining Los Angeles.
