Clippers Eye Bibby

Los Angeles Daily News

The Los Angeles Clippers had the privilege of working out Mike Bibby on Tuesday. It’s the only NBA team the talented University of Arizona point guard has allowed to have a private glimpse of his skills.

It may have been his only pre-draft performance, but Bibby appeared anything but nervous while on display in a morning workout at USC.

“It’s been a lifelong dream to go through this situation,” Bibby said.

The Clippers are expected to make Bibby the top pick in the draft, which is June 24. Asked if he thought the Clippers would select him, Bibby said, “I hope.”

With team executives Elgin Baylor and Andy Roeser inside USC’s Lyon Center, Bibby worked out for an hour.
