Money Ball
Money Ball�.
Having moved on from Giannis over a year ago the
natural and eventual reaction was always going to be the proverbial wall and an
abundance of losses. That has now occurred, and the hard work involved with
rebuilding a team to not just a run at a title contender but a dynasty team has
begun.
We believe we have a core group that can grow over the
next two seasons and become a much better team that will (hopefully) contend
for a playoff spot in a brutal western conference.
Point Guards
PG. Cason Wallace � a 2023 lottery pick and considered
was one of, if not the best perimeter defender in the class has shown glimpses
of being able to become a very well-rounded starting point guard at some point in
his career
NSL draft � 14th NBA Draft � 10th
PG. Nick Smith Jr � the very last pick in the 1st round of
the 2023 NBA draft was at one point consider a top 10 draft pick entering the
2023 collegiate season. Due to injury however, an unspectacular campaign resulted
in a dramatic draft night fall. He is now seeing regular NBA minutes and
performing quite well
NSL Draft � 29th NBA � Taken � 27th
PG. Kobe Bufkin - Taken with the 18th pick in the NSL draft Kobe
was more of a project reach player for the clippers but has shown glimpses of
what promises to be a long productive NBA career even though he suffered an
injury set back early on the NBA hawks woes may present him an opportunity in
the very near future
NSL draft 18th NBA Draft 15th
Shooting
Guards
SG. Bennedict Mathurin � Ben is a walking
bucket and free throw generating machine while yet to crack a regular starting
gig in the NBA his time is likely coming.
SG. Jordan Hawkins � Jordan is a flame thrower
when it comes to shooting the basketball and having not even completed a full NBA
season is proving to be one of the best movement shooters in the class. One of
only 4 rookies with multiple 30pt games and on track to eclipse the rookie 3pt
mark set by Keegan Murray last season
SG. Jordan Poole � Jordan is easily the most
popular players in the Clippers lineup, currently lining up at PG we see his
future as a SG or 6man.
Small
Forwards
SF. Jalen Williams � Jalen has already
established himself as a Clipper fan favorite and the team has rejected
numerous offers for the 2nd season standout.
SF. Trey Murphy � Trigger Trey had a rough
start to the 2023-24 season starting the season with a knee injury and a minutes
/ game restriction limiting his impact. Regardless of that he is still held in
high regard and has a huge future in both the NBA and NSL
SF. Kris Murray � Kris is the twin brother of
last year standout rookie Keegan while he isn�t likely to have a superstar caliber
career, he still offers that high upside 3 and D wing potential that every team
needs on their roster
Power
Forwards
PF. Paolo Banchero � ROY and 1st
time all star Paolo Banchero is proving worthy of the number 2 selection in the
NSL, while his NBA career and NSL career aren�t exactly in sync he is and will
continue to be the 1st player selected week in week out.
PF. Tari Eason � of all the players on the NSL
clippers Tari has received the most offers while currently out injured the
Clippers really do miss his hustle and rebounding the second, he returns will instantly
be thrown back into the rotation.
Centre�s
C. Noah Clowney � kind of embarrassing when we
look at the C depth in LA, and a position we hope to fix in the coming off
season Noah is extremely RAW but has potential to become a solid starter in
both leagues albeit more than likely at PF and not C.
Money
Situation
This is where we make or break it next season, off
contract money + cap raise, and available cap space currently equates to $59,000,000
enough to go all in on a superstar calibre player or multiple big dollar players
in position of need.
The cap situation coupled with what�s looking like a fairly
high draft pick sets up another stepping stone in the road to mediocrity
