Mike Muscala
Muscala is the third and final player included in the deal, but like Chandler, I wouldn’t expect his face to be one seen in LA beyond this season.
A 6’11” big, Muscala is a solid floor-spacer with an impressive three-point shot. He’s connected on 34 percent of his attempts so far this season, and he takes 4.2 per game, making up roughly 80 percent of his total attempts per game.
Like the previous two players included in the deal, Muscala isn’t necessarily known for his defense. Despite his tall frame, the 27-year-old is averaging well under a block per game. He’ll be relied upon for his shooting and rebounding, and not much else.
Muscala likely won’t have much of a role in LA’s rotation, either. Chances are he takes over Boban’s old role, but Muscala doesn’t have the size or strength to do what Marjanovic does — meaning he’ll probably be behind Marcin Gortat and Montrezl Harrell in the rotation the rest of the way.
His three-point shooting ability makes him an interesting player though, and it’s possible he finds his way into some of LA’s deeper offensive sets.
Overall, he’s a solid big — I just wouldn’t expect him to do a whole lot with the LA Clippers.
