On July 2, Beijing time, the NBA Clippers and last season's 76ers backup center Bamba reached a veteran base salary contract, so that the Clippers added a fierce player to the inside center, after Plumlee joined the Suns, it is estimated that Thailand will not be retained, Bamba's addition makes the Clippers more worthy of expectation in terms of interior improvement. Although he didn't play at the same level with the 76ers, the Clippers have a passing master named Harden, and this deal is a bright spot in the Clippers' offseason trade market!
26-year-old Bamba, who was also the No. 6 pick with the first pick that year, is 2.13 meters tall, weighs 104 kilograms, plays as a center, plays for the 76ers in the 2023-2024 season, plays a total of 57 games in the regular season, starts 17 games, and plays 40 games off the bench, averaging 13.0 minutes per game, can score 4.4 points + 4.2 rebounds + 0.7 assists + 0.4 steals + 1.1 blocks, shooting 49.0% from the field and 39.1% from three-point range, The free-throw percentage was 68.0 percent.
The addition of Bamba has added an Optimus Prime to the Clippers' interior defense in the second lineup, and the Clippers only relied on Theis and Plumlee on the interior last season, but the two are really watery, and Bamba's talent will definitely surpass these two butter players anyway. It's just that after Bamba returned from injury, he has not played at the corresponding level, maybe joining the Clippers under Harden's tutelage can usher in a gorgeous transformation, the key Bamba also has a stable outside three-point shooting skills, which is stronger than Zubac, young and violent aesthetics! Paul. George's departure has made the Clippers more aware of the importance of defense, and they continue to recruit defensive players, such as Jones Jr., Batum, Dunn, plus the current Bamba, the new season of the Clippers under the leadership of Harden and Leonard is still worth looking forward to!
