The Los Angeles Clippers are reportedly looking to move the 28th pick in the draft tonight for some help on the wing. After having a stable of wing options last season with Jamal Crawford, Matt Barnes, Jared Dudley, J.J. Redick, Willie Green, and Reggie Bullock, the Clippers are apparently hoping to add more athleticism.
Dan Woike of the Orange County Register is reporting Charlotte Hornets' wing Gerald Henderson and possibly Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks are some of the names being discussed.

It's interesting that the Clippers aren't looking to improve their interior when they have DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin under contract and that's it. Glen Davis and Ryan Hollins are free agents this summer and they weren't good options for the Clippers to play during the playoffs. There are some solid big men to draft but Doc Rivers could be looking for nothing but veterans in a potential title run.
