When the Los Angeles Clippers won the NBA Lottery on Tuesday, there was no question who’d be selected first overall. Now that the Clippers have came out and opened said they’d select Blake Griffin with the first pick, what comes next? Is the arrival of Blake Griffin enough to thrust the Clippers into playoff consideration? Probably not, but they’ll be much closer than they were last season. However, Griffin will definitely create a logjam on the Clippers front-line, kind of how Greg Oden caused a logjam on the Blazers front-line a couple of seasons ago. So who’s go to? Will it be Kaman? Camby? Randolph? Will they venture to keep them all? Whatever they decide to do, the Clippers have tough decisions ahead of them.

It’s not like the Clippers have huge holes to fill on the wings or at the point guard position. Eric Gordon will come into his own, Al Thornton will come into his own, and Baron Davis is a proven guy who can get this team going if he can stay on the court. Maybe they’ll venture to try and acquire a capable bench guy who can be instant offense from a reserve role. No one knows, but one thing that is for certain, even though it’s a tough position to be in, it’s a good problem to have.
