On July 2, Beijing time, according to a report by Haynes, the Clippers signed by player Chris Dern, and the Clippers have previously met with former dunk king Jones and welcomed back Batum, and now the signing of Dunn is undoubtedly to further enhance the team's defensive strength.
The 30-year-old Dunn was the No. 5 pick in the first round in 2016, but he didn't really play in his expected career. Dunn has played for the Timberwolves, Bulls, Hawks, Trail Blazers and Jazz.
Dunn played 66 regular season games for the Jazz last season, averaging 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1 steal in 18.9 minutes per game, shooting 47.0% from the field, 36.9% from three-point range, and 68.8% from the free throw line, setting the second-lowest scoring record in a single season of his career, only higher than the 3.8 points per game in his rookie season.
It's worth mentioning that Dunn played in the Clippers' Development League, so it's no surprise that he signed with the Clippers. The Clippers also previously signed former dunk king Jones Jr., plus the return of veteran Batum, and the team's defense has been improved.
However, the Clippers now have as many as seven guard players on the roster, namely Harden, Mann, Powell, Westbrook, Hyland, Kevin Porter Jr. and Dunn. According to Clippers reporter Joey Linn, it feels like the Clippers will have 1-2 trades inevitable, and Wei Shao has been rumored to be on the trading table, and Wei Shao and the Nuggets are interested in each other.
