Late Wednesday night, the NBA Draft saw a savvy move: Auburn big man Narcisse Ngoy, drafted 57th by Atlanta, was immediately traded to the LA Clippers — a classic “draft-and-stash” play. Still set to play college ball for Auburn this season, Ngoy’s draft rights now belong to the Clippers, who’ll claim him when he goes pro in 2027. Already a standout in France — MVP of the Elite 2 with 11 rebounds and 3 blocks per game — Ngoy joins Auburn for summer practices, filling a critical frontcourt void. Coach Steven Pearl is thrilled, calling him a perfect fit for Auburn’s rebuild. This marks the eighth player drafted from Auburn since 2019 — a massive turnaround — while the Clippers secure a future asset without sacrificing his development.
