Clippers pick North Carolina’s Reggie Bullock

In the first NBA Draft of the Doc Rivers regime, the Clippers selected North Carolina shooting guard Reggie Bullock Thursday night with the No. 25 pick.
Bullock, a 6-foot-7 junior, fills a need the Clippers identified — a shooter. He also has the size that could help them defensively on the perimeter. However, while Bullock has built his reputation with his shooting ability, one apparent drawback is Bullock’s lack of playing an attacking offensive game.
In a draft that was beyond unpredictable, it might turn out the Clippers were fortunate to get one of the players they targeted during the weeks of scouting leading up to selection process. Bullock averaged 13.9 points per game and hit 88 3-pointers, the third-most in North Carolina history, last season for the Tar Heels.
It is the only pick of the draft in 2013 for the Clippers, who will now turn their full attention to the free agency market. The obvious priority there is bringing back Chris Paul, and then retooling the roster.
