The Agua Caliente Clippers assembled one of the strongest seasons in franchise history in 2021-22, finishing 22-11 and claiming second place in the Western Conference before advancing to the conference finals, where their postseason run ended against the Rio Grande Valley Vipers. The roster blended NBA prospects, assignment players, and experienced G League veterans in a way that produced consistent results on both ends of the floor. Xavier Moon emerged as the team’s central playmaker and earned an NBA opportunity with the parent Los Angeles Clippers, while Keaton Wallace, George King, and Shevon Thompson provided much of the club’s nightly production. NBA assignments from players such as Keon Johnson, Brandon Boston Jr., and Jay Scrubb further strengthened a group that reached the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Tip-Off Tournament Team Impact Spotlight

PLAYER NAME ROLE TIER MPG USAGE TIER PPG RPG APG STK IMPACT INDEX NOTES AWARDS
Brandon Boston Jr. Primary Wing Creator (1.1) 33.0 High (1.2) 21.0 5.5 2.2 2.0 81.05 Boston operated as an aggressive scoring wing, attacking gaps and creating shots rather than simply spacing the floor. His playoff workload reflected that trust, and he was one of Agua Caliente’s leading offensive options during its Western Conference run. (The NBA G League)
Amir Coffey Two-Way Wing Creator (1.1) 32.8 High (1.2) 19.6 5.8 2.8 1.4 78.14 Coffey’s role had expanded well beyond emergency depth by this stage; Los Angeles Times coverage described him as a rotation mainstay during the Clippers’ injury-heavy season, capable of filling shooting-guard, small-forward and even power-forward minutes. (Los Angeles Times)
Jay Scrubb Playoff Shot-Making Wing (1.1) 33.7 High (1.2) 19.8 5.0 2.3 1.6 75.77 Scrubb was used as a volume scoring wing with freedom to attack off the bounce and fire from three. His earlier G League stint had already established him as a high-output scorer, making the heavy playoff workload a continuation of that development path. (The NBA G League)
Serge Ibaka Veteran Stretch Center (1.05) 27.3 High (1.2) 15.5 9.3 2.5 1.6 72.83 Ibaka supplied veteran interior size while still stretching the defense from the perimeter, giving the Clippers a different frontcourt look from their more mobile bigs. His G League assignment was specifically used to build rhythm and conditioning during his Clippers tenure.
Keon Johnson Slashing Two-Way Guard (1.05) 30.3 High (1.2) 15.9 5.1 4.8 2.4 71.06 Johnson played with downhill intent, using his athleticism to pressure the rim while taking on secondary creation duties. His frequent movement between the NBA and G League reflected the Clippers’ effort to give the young first-round pick meaningful developmental possessions.
Moses Wright Pick-and-Roll Finishing Big (1.05) 29.7 High (1.1) 13.5 8.5 1.1 2.4 58.91 Wright’s playoff value centered on mobile interior defense, rolling and second-chance work rather than perimeter creation. His season ultimately earned major recognition: after moving from Agua Caliente to Texas, he was named to the 2021-22 All-NBA G League First Team. All-NBA G League First Team (2022)
Xavier Moon Pick-and-Roll Lead Guard (1.05) 30.1 High (1.1) 12.4 4.4 6.8 1.8 58.67 Moon was the connective offensive engine, repeatedly handling pick-and-roll possessions and creating shots for teammates while still threatening pull-ups. His playmaking stood out enough during the season to earn an NBA two-way contract with the Clippers. (The NBA G League)
George King Floor-Spacer Wing (1.05) 31.3 Medium (1.1) 13.7 5.7 1.8 2.2 54.05 King provided a veteran wing template built around spot-up shooting, positional defense and smart movement without the ball. His 47% three-point shooting in this playoff sample reinforced the value of that low-maintenance offensive role.
Harry Giles Stretch-Rebounding Big (1.05) 19.3 Medium (1.0) 11.7 7.3 0.0 2.3 44.73 Giles brought a different frontcourt skill set, stepping away from the traditional paint-only role to take three-point attempts while still competing on the defensive glass. His playoff opportunity was brief, so the available contemporary coverage is limited.
Shevon Thompson Offensive-Rebounding Centerpiece (1.0) 14.5 Medium (1.0) 6.1 7.1 0.4 1.3 29.80 Thompson’s role was almost entirely built around physical interior possessions: screens, rolls, putbacks and rim protection. His regular-season reputation as a dominant offensive rebounder carried into the postseason, where his size remained a useful change of pace against smaller lineups.
Keaton Wallace Secondary Ball-Pressure Guard (1.0) 18.4 Medium (1.0) 6.7 3.2 2.8 1.5 28.40 Wallace shifted from a major regular-season creator into a more contained playoff role, but his defensive pressure and willingness to make quick reads remained useful. Earlier season coverage had highlighted his efficiency, three-point shooting and ability to contribute across several statistical categories. (goutsa.com)
Emmitt Williams Energy Frontcourt Finisher (1.0) 17.3 Medium (1.0) 6.1 4.2 0.5 1.6 24.80 Williams supplied activity rather than elaborate offense, attacking the offensive glass, running the floor and contesting shots around the basket. The playoff rotation used him as a physical energy piece capable of changing the pace of the frontcourt.
Nate Darling Perimeter Scoring Specialist (1.0) 19.2 Low (1.0) 7.1 1.8 1.7 0.3 21.80 Darling’s value came from movement shooting and willingness to take difficult perimeter attempts, although his playoff minutes were more limited than his regular-season offensive role. His postseason run included a 29-point Western Conference Finals performance, showing the scoring ceiling that remained available when his shot was falling. (The NBA G League)
Malik Dunbar Defensive Wing Reserve (1.0) 11.6 Low (1.0) 3.6 1.6 0.6 0.8 13.20 Dunbar filled a complementary wing assignment, relying more on physical defense, positional versatility and opportunistic plays than designed scoring opportunities. Contemporary playoff coverage is limited, so the clearest read is a depth role within a changing postseason rotation.
Ryan Daly Rebounding Connector (1.0) 12.0 Low (1.0) 0.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 12.00 Daly’s lone playoff appearance was essentially a short frontcourt-support stint, with his contribution coming through rebounding and quick ball movement rather than shot creation. Limited contemporary playoff coverage is available for such a brief appearance.
Gary Chivichyan Developmental Perimeter Reserve (1.0) 4.8 Low (1.0) 2.3 0.0 0.3 0.0 5.20 Chivichyan was used strictly as developmental depth, with only brief opportunities to attack from the perimeter. His playoff sample is extremely small, and limited contemporary independent coverage was available to establish a more detailed tactical role.

Moses Wright Rim-Running Frontcourt Engine (1.1) 30.9 High (1.1) 17.6 8.8 1.5 2.4 73.33 Wright supplied interior pressure through rolls, finishes and offensive rebounding, while his mobility gave the Clippers a useful defensive presence around the rim.

Keon Johnson Transition Attacking Wing (1.05) 31.0 High (1.2) 16.0 5.6 2.6 2.2 66.53 Johnson’s role leaned toward aggressive perimeter creation and transition pressure, with the Clippers giving the young first-round pick substantial on-ball responsibility in all seven regular-season appearances. The development context was clear: he was being asked to create rather than simply spot up.
Nate Darling Movement Shooting Hub (1.05) 32.4 High (1.2) 17.1 4.1 3.1 1.2 64.26 Darling functioned as a high-volume perimeter scorer who could stretch defenses well beyond the arc while still making secondary reads. In one March matchup, contemporary coverage specifically described him scoring 22 points off the bench, showing how his shooting could change a game without a traditional starting role.

Shevon Thompson Paint-Dominant Interior Anchor (1.05) 23.2 Medium (1.1) 12.6 11.0 0.5 1.6 59.37 Thompson was the team’s interior stabilizer, winning possessions through screening, offensive rebounding and physical finishes rather than perimeter creation. His rebounding presence was especially visible in season coverage, including a 16-point, 12-rebound double-double against South Bay.
George King 3-and-D Wing Specialist (1.05) 33.6 Medium (1.1) 13.5 6.4 2.3 1.6 54.98 King filled the classic spacing-and-defense wing role, with his value tied to perimeter shooting, positional defense and experience.

Kris Dunn Point-of-Attack Defensive Disruptor (1.05) 26.9 Medium (1.1) 11.8 5.1 3.7 2.8 54.05 Dunn brought veteran defensive instincts to a development-heavy roster, pressuring the ball while organizing possessions as a secondary handler. His G League stint earned an NBA hardship call-up, with Portland citing his 1.87 steals and 3.7 assists per game as part of the appeal. NBA G League — Trail Blazers Sign Kris Dunn To 10-Day Contract
Jay Scrubb Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0) 18.3 High (1.2) 16.0 2.0 2.0 1.3 51.12 Scrubb’s brief regular-season sample showed a scorer comfortable attacking quickly and hunting perimeter shots rather than waiting for offense to come to him. His earlier G League opportunities also revealed that he could take on a much larger offensive workload when given extended minutes. ShamSports — Jay Scrubb Player Profile
Tre Scott Stretch-Forward Connector (1.05) 29.6 Medium (1.0) 9.1 5.8 1.6 1.3 37.38 Scott provided frontcourt versatility after arriving from Cleveland, offering enough perimeter shooting to pull bigger defenders away from the paint while still handling rebounding and connective passing duties. His midseason trade specifically added a 6-foot-8 forward to Agua Caliente’s rotation. French Basketball Federation — Tre Scott Player Profile
Chris Walker Weak-Side Rim Protector (1.0) 16.7 Medium (1.0) 8.7 6.3 0.4 2.2 35.20 Walker’s value came primarily from interior activity: cutting, offensive rebounding and challenging shots around the basket. Coverage of his subsequent roster movement shows a player viewed as a useful big-body developmental piece rather than a perimeter offensive centerpiece. Long Island Nets — Nets Waive Chris Walker
Jordan Ford Backup Point Guard (1.0) 23.6 Medium (1.0) 9.8 2.0 3.1 0.7 31.20 Ford worked as a scoring backup who could also run the second unit, with enough pull-up range to force defenses over screens. His season included multiple 30-point games and a late stretch in which his scoring and playmaking became particularly useful. Stockton Kings — Get to Know Jordan Ford
Emmitt Williams Energy-Rebound Forward (1.0) 20.2 Medium (1.0) 8.4 5.0 0.8 1.4 31.20 Williams played with a high-motor interior style, attacking the glass and finishing possessions around the rim while showing enough range to keep defenses honest. His steady 2021-22 campaign helped Agua Caliente reach the Western Conference Finals. Fraser Valley Bandits — Bandits Sign Agua Caliente Clipper Emmitt Williams
Talib Zanna Veteran Interior Reserve (1.0) 15.8 Low (1.0) 5.6 4.8 0.4 0.6 22.80 Zanna was a physical reserve big whose experience gave the frontcourt some veteran stability, with his career built around rebounding, interior finishing and positional size. His 2021-22 G League season was a short stint following several years playing internationally. Long Island Nets — Long Island Nets Reacquire Talib Zanna
Malik Dunbar Defensive Utility Wing (1.0) 16.7 Low (1.0) 4.9 3.0 0.9 0.9 19.40 Dunbar’s role was more complementary, with his minutes coming as a physical wing option capable of guarding multiple spots and contributing opportunistically. His season included movement in and out of the Agua Caliente rotation as the roster changed around him. RealGM — Agua Caliente Clippers Transactions
Kameron Edwards End-of-Rotation Forward (1.0) 5.5 Low (1.0) 1.3 0.6 0.1 0.4 4.80 Edwards was primarily a depth forward during a very short regular-season window, with his opportunity shaped by roster turnover rather than a defined offensive assignment. His February arrival and subsequent waiver/reacquisition sequence illustrates how fluid his place in the rotation was.
Rion Brown Veteran Spacing Reserve (1.0) 12.7 Low (1.0) 0.0 1.0 1.0 0.3 4.60 Brown arrived late in the season as an experienced perimeter option, but the regular-season sample was too small for a substantial offensive role to develop.

Gary Chivichyan Developmental Guard Reserve (1.0) 3.4 Low (1.0) 0.7 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.40 Chivichyan’s role was strictly developmental in this regular-season sample, with very limited floor time and little opportunity to establish a larger offensive function.

Brandon Boston Jr. Instant-Offense Reserve (1.0) 29.5 High 19.5 5.0 1.5 1.0 64.80 Instant-offense reserve with a scorer’s mentality, Boston repeatedly supplied bench production when Agua Caliente needed another shot creator. He scored 18 in the opening playoff win and 21 in the Western Conference Finals, while contemporaneous Clippers reporting noted the flashes in his scoring game alongside the need for greater defensive consistency.

Nate Darling Primary Scoring Wing (1.05) 26.0 High 19.5 4.5 0.5 1.0 64.26 Primary scoring wing who stretched defenses with perimeter shooting, Darling became the Clippers’ leading offensive threat in the Western Conference Finals, finishing with 29 points and five rebounds.
