Summer League so far

The Clippers finished their exhibitions game with a 1-2 record. The Wizards also finished with a 1-2 record. Despite the record, the Clippers main young trio showed some promise. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was especially good in their last game, despite a loss to the Rockets. The rookie point guard scored 25 points on 57.1% shooting, dished out four assists, grabbed five rebounds and earned two steals.

Jerome Robinson, the other rookie drafted by the Clippers, only played in two games due to knee soreness. He is expected to play today. Angel Delgado has also looked good, especially on the boards.

Let’s get into those story lines.
