2016-2017 LA Clippers – Last Year or Lob City: Where are They Now?
Jamal Crawford (Shooting Guard)
Jamal Crawford has a legendary NBA career, but not in the way of multiple MVP’s or NBA Championships. Crawford holds both the record of most four-point plays and most Sixth Man of the Year Awards at three, two of which were won while on the Clippers. Crawford spent five seasons of his career on the Clippers. In 2016-2017, he averaged 12.3 points per game and played the role of the sixth man.
In the summer of 2017, Crawford was part of a three-team trade that sent him to the Atlanta Hawks with Diamond Stone and a 2018 first round pick (Omari Spellman). This was part of the sign-and-trade to bring Danilo Gallnari from the Denver Nuggets to LAC. He then agreed to a contract buyout with the Altanta Hawks and, as a free agent, signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Now, Crawford is with the Phoenix Suns, where he is mentoring the young Suns roster and playing a bench role.
Raymond Felton (Point Guard)
Raymond Felton was well past his best days on the Charlotte Bobcats where he averaged 13.3 points and 6.4 assists per game by the time he came to the Clippers. In his sole season with the team, Felton served as Chris Paul’s backup. He averaged 6.7 points per game and got starter minutes while Chris Paul was out with injury. Now, Felton is in his second season of serving alongside Dennis Schroder as backup point guards for Russell Westbrook on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
