Lucas, Rob, and Shap take a look at an active draft for the Clippers, as the squad traded a couple second rounders in order to draft Keon Johnson at 21 and Jason Preston at 33, as well as flipping a top 55 protected second rounder and cash for fallen prospect BJ Boston. What did the guys think of these players and how they can fit with the team? To close, what did the crew think of the blockbuster draft day Russell Westbrook deal that could shape the West?
