Clippers Draft French Center Who Wants College

The Clippers drafted French seven-footer Narcisse Ngoy with the 57th pick — but here’s the twist: he’s already committed to Auburn and plans to play college ball, a rare move since the NBA’s Bird Rule in 1978. Ngoy didn’t declare for the draft himself, and it’s unclear if there was a misunderstanding or miscommunication. While the Clippers might be stuck with him, his raw talent and potential NIL upside could make college the better fit — and they might be better off letting him develop overseas or in college rather than stashing him in the G League.
