Clippers land top pick in NBA draft

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Clippers won the NBA draft lottery on Tuesday, securing the top pick in next month's draft.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Oklahoma City Thunder will get the second and third picks respectively.

The Clippers finished second-to-last in the Western Conference this season with a 19-63 record and are expected to select Oklahoma forward Blake Griffin as the top pick on June 25.

"It's a great day for us," Clippers President Andy Roeser told reporters. "I know we're going to get a great player and someone who will help our franchise for a very long time."
