Jason Preston:

This guy can pass. He understands the game and the shot is definitely workable. If he can adjust physically and be able to enforce his pace at the NBA level he will be a very useful addition. I like how he plays even though he is not great at creating his own shot. He won’t have to do that with the Clippers.

Keon Johnson:

If he gets a shot we got ourselves a super star. I like his composure, work ethic and defensive chops. Obviously the best athlete of the bunch, I think he will get the most playing time initially.

Jayden Scrubb:

He shows off the scoring which I think was always there but he needs to work on his decision making and being useful overall. He has been rebounding well and he is athletic.

Amir Coffey:

He is playing much worse than what know he can do. I think we should keep him on the fringe but it depends on other moves, the roster is full and the Winslow addition didn’t help. He could still be more NBA ready than the others.

Brandon Boston Jr:

This kid is fluid. If he gets his shot together he seems to fit the lethgthy 3&D archetype. He can create his own shot and function as catch and shoot. He will be useful.

Daniel Oturu:

I believe that Oturu will stay. Team believes he fits the switchable big mould and we are short on bigs after the draft. He has been mostly solid only the 3PT shot is not there.
What I always liked is that he rebounds well for his height.

In terms of playing time with the big boys, I predict:

Johnson>Boston>Coffey>Scrubb>Oturu>Preston

If they all stay! And I could be totally wrong.

He’ll supposedly be ready by Friday.

With the actual Clippers squad he’s out there to play defense, rebound, and stand in the corners and shoot 3’s. But these past couple of SL games he’s been handling the ball, shooting off the dribble, and initiating the offense a lot of times…and quite frankly he can’t do any of those things at the NBA level (or as the last couple of games have shown, even at the SL level). Coffey’s a specialist through and through.

With that bigger view outside of these two LV Summer League games, keeping Coffey makes sense.
As for the other picks, it is hard to draft real NBA players outside of the top 3.
