C. LA Clippers. Angel Delgado. 31. player. Recent Stories. 77.

Angel Delgado is as traditional as big men can come. At 6’10” and weighing in at 245 pounds, LA’s developmental center is a beast in the paint and a monster on the glass. And although he’s one of the Clippers’ two-way contract players, there’s a chance that he could make a solid impact for this year’s squad.

An undrafted junior from Seton Hall, Delgado lacks the handles and shooting ability to become a modern NBA star, but makes up for his weaknesses with stellar inside play. He’s a decent facilitator too, averaging 2.8 assists per game in his final year of college.

As previously mentioned, Delgado is one of the team’s two-way contract players, meaning he’ll suit up for 45 games for the LA Clippers and play the rest for their G-League affiliate, the Agua Caliente Clippers of Ontario. He needs the development to become a better option in the NBA, and will likely remain with the third unit for the time being.

As a traditional big, Delgado’s biggest strengths are his abilities to score and rebound inside. In his sophomore season at Seton Hall, he averaged 15.2 points and 13.1 rebounds across 33 minutes of play. If he can replicate those numbers with the G-League squad, expect the Clippers to take a long look at their roster and see if it’s worth converting Delgado’s contract to a fully-guaranteed deal.

Fortunately for Delgado, he won’t be alone with the G-League Clippers, as former Seton Hall and Summer League teammate Desi Rodriguez will likely end up there with him.
