NBA Draft: Clippers And Hornets Agree To Trade Lottery Picks

The Hornets have agreed to send the No. 11 pick to the Clippers in exchange for the No. 12 pick and a pair of future second-round picks according to ESPN.

Charlotte selected Kentucky guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at No. 11, but his rights will go to Los Angeles. The Clippers selected Michigan State forward Miles Bridges, who’ll head to Charlotte.

The Clippers held back-to-back picks at Nos. 12 and 13, and the minor move up allowed them to snag some desperately needed wing help. Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 14.4 points-per-game for Kentucky last season while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc.

Charlotte adds Bridges, an undersized forward, who averaged 17.1 points and 7.0 rebounds as a sophomore last season.
