Re: Clippers camp invites
As long as he doesnt flop, i can see us picking up N'Dong. Clippers probably let n'diyaye go because why pay like 700-800K or so for someone who will be on the inactive list for most of the year. But if they really do want a legit 5th center, then i can see them picking him up for less than half of what n'diaye was due to make since he is a rookie.
I remember who this guy was now. I was shocked at his play in the summer league that i covered. He was blocking shots left and right, dunking over opponents, and had a consistent mid range jump shot, which is the thing that puts him above N'Diyaye IMO. Draftexpress.com called him possibly the best sleeper of the ENTIRE vegas tournament, which is good considering the number of players there. Im surprised another team less deep than the clippers wouldnt give this guy a training camp invite.
So i reiterate. Unless the clippers really have no intention of signing another guy, and/or ndong doesnt play up to potential as i saw him in vegas, i would dare say its almost a lock that he will be our 15th player on the roster.
