Clippers select Reggie Perry with No. 57 pick

With the No. 57 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, the Los Angeles Clippers selected Mississippi State standout Reggie Perry.

Perry had a productive summer with USA Basketball, emerging as last year's FIBA U19 World Cup MVP on a loaded American squad that featured top-ranked 2020 recruits Jalen Green and Cade Cunningham.

Perry carried that momentum into the 2019-20 campaign, during which he averaged 17.4 points and an SEC-leading 10.1 boards. His strong sophomore season earned him a spot on the All-SEC first team.
