The Backup

Entering this past offseason, the Clippers aimed to improve their forward depth. They traded Sam Dekker to the Cavaliers and signed Mbah a Moute. They signed former Wizards power forward Mike Scott, as well.

Scott is a sharpshooting big man. He shot an impressive 40.5% from three last season. Not only was he impressive from three-point range, but he also shot an outstanding 58.2% on two-pointers.

After being buried on the Atlanta Hawks depth chart for a few years, Scott’s efficient scoring proved to be a bright spot in an otherwise thin Wizards rotation.

He struggled at times this preseason, but Scott’s game should improve once he gets more comfortable on his new team.

Scott is currently the Clippers backup power forward and the only power forward not named Tobias Harris. However, that does not mean his spot in the rotation is safe. If Scott struggles, Doc Rivers could easily move Mbah a Moute to power forward and Sindarius Thornwell or Tyrone Wallace to small forward.
