Number 4: Angel Delgado and Johnathan Motley

The Clippers two new two-way players have not garnered a lot of attention heading into this season, so I’ve decided to group them together.

Yes, most of their games will be played with the G-League affiliate in the Agua Caliente Clippers, but maybe one or both end up in Tyrone Wallace‘s situation and secure an NBA deal.

Angel Delgado is a monstrous rebounding machine coming out of Seton Hall. He can look to polish his offensive side of the ball in the G-League this year. He looked especially good in Summer League play, putting up double-double efforts in efficient fashion.

Johnathan Motley, on the other hand, has actually played in the NBA before while with the Dallas Mavericks. He, too, was also on a two-way contract.

Motley has shown flashes of a consistent stretch big who can shoot from deep and drive it in when he needs too.

I can see both guys having at least one memorable game next year. These two will definitely make their 45 days count with the LA Clippers.
