Clippers Acquire No. 27 Pick, Select Kabengele

JUNE 21: This deal is now official, according to the Nets, who used the No. 56 pick to select Jaylen Hands.

JUNE 20: The Clippers acquired the No. 27 overall pick from the Nets and selected Florida State center Florida State’s Mfiondu Kabengele, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter links).

The Nets acquired a 2020 first-round pick that the Sixers owed the Clippers plus the 56th pick in tonight’s draft, Wojnarowski adds in another tweet. Philadelphia sent that pick to the Clippers in the Tobias Harris trade. That pick is  protected for selections 1-14 in 2020, 1-14 in 2021 and 1-14 in 2022 and converts into two second-rounders if the pick isn’t conveyed by 2022.

Brooklyn opened up more cap room to pursue two high-level free agents this summer.

The 6’10” Kabengele averaged 13.2 PPG, 5.9 RPG and 1.5 BPG last season.
