According to Law Murray, The Athletic's Los Angeles Clippers reporter in Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Clippers will sign Trentyn Flowers, a rising star in the backcourt who was undrafted in this year's NBA Draft and plays for the Adelaide 36ers this season. Murray didn't specify what contract Flowers would get, but considering he's a top-ranked player in the draft and his talent is pretty good, the Clippers are likely to offer him a two-way contract.
Born in March 2005, Flowers is now 19 years old and is a very talented and athletic player. According to the data of the previous joint trial physical test, Flowers's bare foot height is 199.4cm, the arm span is 203.8cm, the standing touch height is 255.3cm, and the weight is 91.4kg. Flowers' static talent is quite so-so, his height is quite good among backcourt and wing players, although his arm span and touch height are slightly different, but it is actually very bad among backcourt players, but it is indeed a little less ideal among wing players. Flowers' athleticism is outstanding, with his jumping stats ranking first of all players in the test, his three-second zone four-point movement and switchback running speed in the upper mid-range, and his three-quarters of the pitch sprint speed in the mid-table.
In this season's NBL, Flowers played a total of 21 games for the team, averaging just 14.4 minutes per game, averaging 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 steals, 0.1 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers, shooting 43.6% from the field, 35.7% from three-point range, and 64.9% from the free throw line. It has to be said that Flowers' performance in the NBL this season has been a mess, his offensive efficiency has been so-so, his talent in playmaking and tandem has not been shown, and his turnover count is also high. His performance as a point guard in the early stages of the season was outrageous, which led to a sharp drop in his playing time and the need to switch to the wing position. It was also because of his poor performance this season that Flowers's draft market plummeted and he eventually became an undrafted pick.
Flowers has been a bit of an unpredictable player so far, his performances in the two joint tryouts were completely polarised, and he has huge problems with his reading and comprehension of the game. Coupled with the fact that his performance this season has not been able to meet everyone's expectations, it is understandable that he has not been recognized by everyone. Flowers has tried out for a large number of teams, but it doesn't look like his performance in the trials has completely impressed the teams, and he can't improve his draft stock in the end. I don't know if he can be competitive enough in Summer League after joining the Clippers and earn himself a chance to stay on the team's roster.
