The NBA Draft is always a crazy event for local and national reporters around the league trying to score scoops. They probably didn't expect competition from a player.
Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson decided to get in on the action Thursday night by doing his best Adrian Wojnarowski impression on Twitter during the 2019 NBA Draft.

Clarkson worked hard to break news before anyone else. As the first round came to a close, he encouraged followers to stay tuned because more "JC bombs" were on the way. It is common for followers of Wojnarowski to refer to his breaking news as "Woj bombs."

Clarkson's offseason predictions didn't start on draft night. Earlier in the week, he predicted the landing spots for free agents Kyrie Irving, D'Angelo Russell and Julius Randle.

Clarkson was selected 46th overall in the 2014 NBA draft by the Wizards. He was traded later that night to the Lakers for cash considerations.
Unfortunately for him, he wasn't able to break the news of his own trade.
