Looks to be very much in play for the Clippers at fifth overall.

Enjoyed sitting down with Keaton Wagler to hear about his rise from No. 261 recruit to potential top-five pick. Fascinating to get his perspective on the recruitment process, how his role evolved at Illinois, and what an NBA organization is getting off the court.
Illinois' Keaton Wagler measured 6'5 barefoot and 188 pounds at the NBA Draft Combine, with a 6'6.25 wingspan and 8'4 standing reach.
First measurements we've seen for Wagler. Good size for a PG, but is functionally a little smaller given the wingspan, frame, and reach.
