Analysis:
After a Second Round playoff appearance in 2006, the Clippers failed to even make the post season in 2007. The scoring averages of Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, Sam Cassell, Cuttino Mobley and Chris Kaman all dropped. The season came down to the last few weeks but after losing to Sacramento and then New Orleans in the final days of the season, a playoff spot became an impossibility. Injuries to Sam Cassell and Shaun Livingston forced the team to make adjustments throughout the season. They finished with the best record of any non -playoff team and will have the 14th and 45th picks in this year’s draft.

From The Media:
"This draft is considered key for the Clippers because they lack depth on the wing. Clippers forward Corey Maggette could terminate the final year of his contract and become a free agent after next season, so the Clippers are expected to draft a perimeter player."
