Clippers think they found a good fit in drafting Reggie Bullock The Clippers were looking for an athletic wing player during Thursday's NBA draft, and they think they found him when they selected Reggie Bullock with the 25th overall pick. In many ways, the Clippers were able to get the 6-7, 205-pound Bullock because of how unpredictable the draft was from the very start, when the Cleveland Cavaliers surprised everyone by taking Anthony Bennett from Nevada Las Vegas with the No. 1 overall pick. "I like him," Doc Rivers, the Clippers' new coach and senior vice president of basketball operations, said of the swingman. We had targeted him. He was one of the guys that we wanted. We felt like we needed more shooting. He does that. Bullock comes from one of the better college programs, North Carolina, something Rivers said that he loves about the rookie. Rivers said he got to see Bullock play during the 2011-12 season when North Carolina played against Duke, the team his son, Austin Rivers, then played for. Rivers saw Bullock work out for the Celtics recently when Rivers was still the coach at Boston. "He has size, can play the small-forward position," Rivers said. He can shoot it on the catch and he can defend. Those are all of the things that we had targeted, and we got him. Bullock is known to be a strong outside shooter with good range and to have the ability to defend more than one position. He will give the Clippers additional depth off the bench. Bullock played three seasons at North Carolina, averaging 9.9 points a game on 43.9% shooting. He shot 38.7% on three-pointers. During the 2012-13 season, he averaged 13.9 points on 48.3% shooting and improved to 43.6% from three-point range. In his three seasons at North Carolina, he made 188 three-pointers, eighth-most in school history. He also improved in each of his three seasons with the Tar Heels, averaging 6.1 points as a freshman, 8.8 as a sophomore and 13.9 as a junior. "We feel like Reggie is a guy that we were hoping was there," said Gary Sacks, the Clippers' vice president of basketball operations. He's a great shooter. We just feel like shooting is something that we wanted to get in this draft. We really like him. Chris Paul also weighed in on the Clippers' draft pick - on Twitter. "Congrats to @ReggieBullock35 on being drafted," Paul tweeted. He was on my 1st 15 and Under CP3 All-Star team. #teamCp3. Now Bullock will have to see if he'll be Paul's teammate. Paul, the All-Star point guard, becomes an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The Clippers plan on offering him a maximum five-year deal for $107.3 million. Sacks said the Clippers looked into getting a second-round pick in the draft but were unable to. "We always talk to everybody about moving around and getting into different positions," Sacks said. But there just wasn't anybody there at that point that we felt like we wanted.
