The Pacific Division adds high-scoring guards in NBA draft with Wagler to Clips, Acuff to Kings

The Pacific Division loaded up on young, talented guards in the top 10 of this year’s NBA draft , with the Los Angeles Clippers taking Keaton Wagler and the Sacramento Kings selecting Darius Acuff Jr.

Wagler was the No. 5 pick on Tuesday night, giving the Clippers an all-around player who was part of the country’s loaded freshman class. The 19-year-old is the third Fighting Illini player selected in the top 10 in the modern NBA era, joining Deron Williams (No. 3, 2005) and Kendall Gill (No. 5, 1990).
