Los Angeles Clippers- Grade: A
Additions:
- Kobe Brown
Losses:
- None
The Clippers had a quietly excellent offseason. They were able to re-sign starting point guard Russell Westbrook for the minimum and Mason Plumlee, a key reserve big, for cheap. Plumlee could have made triple what the Clippers gave him elsewhere. They are basically who they’ve been for awhile; they are contenders, if healthy.
Signings:
- Mason Plumlee- Grade: A+
- Russell Westbrook- Grade: A
Trades:
- None
Clippers’ 2023 NBA Draft – Grade: B
- Pick 30: Kobe Brown, G, Missouri
I lacked Brown in my many mock drafts, but I get why some team would like him in the first round. The senior had an excellent 2023 season, as he was an uber-efficient scorer and shooter. He also showed really solid rebounding and playmaking talent, suggesting a lot of potential as a role player.
