The 2024-25 season introduced a new chapter for the franchise as the team began play as the San Diego Clippers following its relocation from Ontario. The transition brought a youthful roster and a strong emphasis on player development, with several of the organization’s emerging prospects taking on major roles throughout the year. Trentyn Flowers, Cam Christie, and Patrick Baldwin Jr. were among the team’s most prominent contributors, while NBA-assigned players such as Jordan Miller and Kobe Brown appeared when available. Despite flashes of promise and a respectable 10-6 Showcase Cup performance, San Diego finished 12-22 in the regular season and missed the playoffs as the challenges of a new identity, roster turnover, and a young rotation proved difficult to overcome.

| Kobe Brown | Primary Scoring Forward (1.1) | 30.0 | High | 30.0 | 4.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 | 113.5 | Brown operated as an aggressive scoring forward in this limited San Diego sample, combining perimeter shooting with secondary playmaking. Earlier Clippers reporting highlighted how the organization valued his G League reps as a way to accelerate his decision-making and confidence. Yahoo Sports — Kobe Brown is the rare rookie getting a chance to join Clippers rotation | |
| Jordan Miller | Lead Wing Creator (1.1) | 29.0 | High | 20.0 | 4.0 | 7.0 | 1.0 | 84.5 | Miller’s role was clearly creation-heavy: he handled the ball, generated offense and functioned as a secondary organizer rather than merely spacing the floor. The Los Angeles Times reported that his strong San Diego play helped underpin his eventual four-year NBA contract, reinforcing his development as more than a spot-up wing. Yahoo Sports — Clippers sign guard Jordan Miller to four-year contract | |
| Tosan Evbuomwan | Point-Forward Hub (1.1) | 32.6 | High | 18.4 | 6.8 | 1.7 | 1.6 | 75.2 | Evbuomwan functioned as a big wing who could initiate offense, attack mismatches and facilitate from the forward spots. NetsDaily later described his Princeton background as that of a back-to-the-basket and dribble-handoff hub who sees the floor well, a skill set that explains his unusually broad offensive responsibilities for a 6-foot-7 forward. NetsDaily — Brooklyn’s Next Nets: Tosan Evbuomwan | |
| RayJ Dennis | Pick-and-Roll Floor General (1.1) | 31.2 | High | 16.4 | 3.4 | 6.1 | 1.9 | 73.4 | Dennis served as the primary table-setter, with the ball regularly in his hands and his passing driving much of the half-court organization. His 2024 background as a high-level collegiate playmaker and the 6.1 assists in this run fit a lead-guard profile rather than a scoring-only role. NBA G League — Wizards Sign RayJ Dennis To Two-Way Contract | |
| Elijah Harkless | Two-Way Defensive Creator (1.05) | 26.8 | High | 15.2 | 5.8 | 3.3 | 3.2 | 69.3 | Harkless brought point-of-attack pressure and disruptive defense while still carrying meaningful offensive creation duties. Contemporary scouting around his development has consistently identified his defense as a standout calling card, with later reporting noting his ability to change the tone of games on that end despite his smaller guard frame. Yahoo Sports — This might be the last year the Jazz can keep Elijah Harkless on a two-way contract | |
| Braxton Key | Defensive Playmaking Forward (1.05) | 29.6 | Medium | 12.8 | 7.7 | 3.3 | 3.2 | 62.4 | Key’s value came from doing connective work across the lineup: rebounding, switching defensively, making simple reads and creating turnovers without needing a high-volume scoring role. His season ultimately validated that defensive identity when he was named the 2024-25 NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year after leading the league in steals. NBA G League — Braxton Key Named 2024-25 Kia NBA G League Defensive Player Of The Year | NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year (2025) |
| Mo Bamba | Rim-Protecting Centerpiece (1.0) | 22.0 | Medium | 13.0 | 12.0 | 2.0 | 0.0 | 59.4 | Bamba’s role in this appearance was centered on interior size, rebounding and finishing around the basket rather than perimeter creation. His established NBA profile as a true center made him a natural interior focal point when available, with the small sample showing the expected emphasis on the glass. | |
| Trentyn Flowers | Transition Scoring Wing (1.05) | 27.7 | High | 13.6 | 4.6 | 1.7 | 1.2 | 53.2 | Flowers played as an athletic scoring wing who could attack in space, run the floor and stretch defenses beyond the arc. Pre-draft evaluation specifically highlighted his burst, willingness to grab rebounds and push the ball, while also identifying defensive recognition and decision-making as areas still developing. NBA.com — 2024 NBA Draft Prospects: Trentyn Flowers | |
| Cam Christie | Movement-Shooting Wing (1.05) | 29.9 | High | 13.4 | 3.8 | 1.7 | 1.1 | 50.4 | Christie was used primarily as a perimeter scoring threat whose value came from shooting gravity, quick decisions and movement into open space. His pre-draft evaluation emphasized the combination of a sweet shooting stroke, useful handle and passing instincts, while noting that defensive strength and decision-making remained developmental points. NBA.com — 2024 NBA Draft Prospects: Cam Christie | |
| Nate Darling | Volume Perimeter Shooter (1.0) | 27.4 | Medium | 13.6 | 2.6 | 2.4 | 1.6 | 46.7 | Darling’s offensive identity was built around perimeter shot creation and spacing, with his high three-point volume making him a natural floor-spacing outlet. His long G League history also shows that he had previously carried a much larger scoring burden for San Diego, making this stretch more of a veteran scoring-support role. NBA G League — Nate Darling player profile | |
| Kai Jones | Vertical Rim Runner (1.0) | 33.5 | Medium | 10.0 | 6.0 | 1.5 | 3.0 | 45.1 | Jones supplied athletic interior play, using his length around the rim while also providing weak-side defensive activity. The Clippers had him listed among their two-way players entering the season, reflecting a developmental role built around his physical tools and frontcourt versatility. San Diego Clippers — 2024-25 Training Camp Roster | |
| Jaelen House | Instant-Offense Reserve Guard (1.0) | 9.1 | Low | 5.6 | 1.1 | 1.8 | 0.7 | 18.4 | House entered this run as a reserve guard whose biggest strengths were pace, ball pressure and quick offensive decisions. His college career had established that defensive pressure was a genuine part of his identity: Mountain West reporting noted that he led the conference in steals for three straight seasons before joining San Diego. Mountain West Conference — Jaelen House Named Third-Team Academic All-American | |
| Drew Cisse | Interior Defense Specialist (1.0) | 11.8 | Low | 2.8 | 4.2 | 1.2 | 1.4 | 19.2 | Cisse’s minutes were built around interior size, rebounding and rim protection rather than offensive volume. His collegiate profile showed the same defensive-rebounding foundation, including substantial work on the glass and shot-blocking responsibilities at Western Illinois. Sports-Reference — Western Illinois 2023-24 roster and stats | |
| Jordan Lathon | Defensive Utility Guard (1.0) | 14.8 | Low | 4.5 | 1.6 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 15.8 | Lathon served as a low-usage guard who could provide ball pressure, secondary handling and lineup flexibility without demanding possessions. His 13-game sample and modest scoring load point to a complementary role, while the broader San Diego roster context placed him among the team’s local-tryout guards entering the season. NBA G League — Jordan Lathon player profile | |
| Yauhen Massalski | Offensive-Rebounding Big (1.0) | 8.7 | Low | 2.1 | 3.6 | 0.7 | 0.6 | 14.0 | Massalski was used as a traditional interior reserve, with his offensive contribution coming mostly from positioning, second chances and efficient finishing rather than perimeter creation. His G League background likewise shows a center-forward whose value is tied to rebounding and interior efficiency. NBA G League — Yauhen Massalski player profile | |
| Shakur Daniel | Defensive Connector Guard (1.0) | 4.0 | Low | 1.5 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 4.0 | Daniel had a very limited offensive workload in this sample, fitting more naturally as a connective reserve than a featured scorer. His former college coach described him as a versatile “jack-of-all trades” whose work ethic and winning mentality were central to his game, which aligns with a low-usage utility role. | |
| Garrett Denbow | Energy Reserve Guard (1.0) | 2.2 | Low | 0.6 | 0.0 | 0.4 | 0.0 | 2.0 | Denbow saw only spot minutes in this run, but his earlier college career showed a more aggressive perimeter game than the tiny sample suggests, including a 35-point performance and nine made threes for Anderson. That contrast is important: his San Diego role was reserve depth rather than an indication of his full offensive skill set.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tosan Evbuomwan | Primary Point-Forward (1.1) | 32.5 | High | 23.5 | 6.5 | 2.0 | 2.0 | 163.2 | As a 6-foot-7 point-forward, Evbuomwan was San Diego’s matchup piece, initiating offense while still working from the interior. His move to Brooklyn in January followed a 16-game G League run in which he started every game, and reporting around the move emphasized the versatility that allowed him to impact games beyond scoring. Yahoo Sports — Nets’ Jordi Fernandez praises Two-Way Tosan Evbuomwan | |
| Elijah Harkless | Two-Way Scoring Guard (1.05) | 30.0 | High | 26.0 | 4.5 | 3.5 | 3.0 | 133.2 | Harkless played with a downhill, disruptive style, attacking the basket while applying pressure defensively. In San Diego’s November win over South Bay, he erupted for a career-high 28 points and helped fuel a defense that forced 28 turnovers, a good snapshot of the two-way responsibility he carried. ESPN — Clippers 112-100 Lakers box score | |
| Jordan Miller | Primary Wing Creator (1.1) | 31.5 | High | 24.5 | 5.2 | 3.2 | 1.3 | 98.5 | Miller was used as a high-volume wing creator rather than a stationary scorer, combining isolation attacks with secondary playmaking. His six-game G League stint was productive enough to precede a four-year Clippers contract, with contemporary reporting specifically highlighting his 24.5-point, 5.2-rebound G League production. Yahoo Sports — Clippers sign guard Jordan Miller to four-year contract | |
| RayJ Dennis | Franchise Floor General (1.1) | 31.0 | High | 19.5 | 4.0 | 6.0 | 2.5 | 92.2 | Dennis functioned as the lead organizer, pushing pace and repeatedly creating shots for teammates out of ball-screen actions. His San Diego run included a 24-point, 12-assist performance, while later season reporting noted that he routinely flirted with double-doubles once he moved to Indiana’s G League affiliate. NBA G League — RayJ Dennis returns to Clippers organization | NBA G League All-Rookie Team (2025) |
| Braxton Key | Defensive Playmaking Forward (1.05) | 33.4 | High | 16.3 | 9.2 | 4.5 | 3.7 | 89.0 | Key’s role was built around defensive versatility and connective offense: he could switch, rebound, push the ball and make the extra pass without needing possessions designed for him. That defensive identity carried through the season, eventually earning him G League Defensive Player of the Year after he led the league in steals. NBC Sports Bay Area — Braxton Key earns G League Defensive Player of the Year honors | NBA G League Defensive Player of the Year (2025); All-NBA G League Defensive Team (2025) |
| Kobe Brown | Stretch-Power Forward Creator (1.1) | 34.0 | High | 19.2 | 5.6 | 3.4 | 1.4 | 85.2 | Brown operated as a scoring forward who could space the floor and make plays from the frontcourt, rather than simply serving as a traditional interior player. His 30-point San Diego performance in the Tip-Off Tournament showed how much offensive responsibility he could absorb when the Clippers needed another creator. RealGM — San Diego Clippers 2024-25 schedule and game leaders | |
| Trentyn Flowers | Transition Scoring Wing (1.05) | 32.5 | High | 20.0 | 5.1 | 1.9 | 0.9 | 81.5 | Flowers played as an athletic attacking wing, getting downhill and using his length to finish or create advantages in space. His early San Diego stretch included a 29-point outing with seven rebounds, while his eventual season profile remained centered on scoring, transition play and perimeter growth. NBA G League — Bulls sign Trentyn Flowers to two-way contract | |
| Patrick Baldwin Jr. | Scoring Stretch Forward (1.05) | 34.1 | High | 18.4 | 7.1 | 2.7 | 2.6 | 81.3 | Baldwin’s role leaned toward shot-making from the forward position, with enough size to rebound and enough skill to attack closeouts. Before joining San Diego, he had already shown the G League could unlock a larger offensive role, including a 28-point performance for Capital City that helped prompt his move to the Clippers. San Diego Clippers — San Diego acquires Patrick Baldwin Jr. | |
| Cam Christie | Movement-Shooting Wing (1.05) | 32.0 | High | 18.2 | 4.5 | 2.5 | 1.4 | 70.2 | Christie served as a movement shooter who could relocate around the arc and make quick decisions off the catch. His role required more than pure spacing because San Diego also used him as a secondary handler, giving the young wing meaningful on-ball reps during an unusually heavy G League workload. Yahoo Sports — Cam Christie news and player coverage | |
| Kai Jones | Vertical Rim Runner (1.05) | 30.8 | Medium | 12.8 | 7.6 | 1.8 | 2.9 | 60.7 | Jones supplied the athletic interior element, running into space, attacking the rim and providing weak-side shot-blocking. His 33.5-minute workload in the smaller sample also suggests San Diego was comfortable giving his physical tools extended developmental responsibility rather than treating him as a short-minute reserve. ESPN — San Diego Clippers vs. South Bay Lakers box score | |
| Jaelen House | High-Pressure Backup Guard (1.0) | 23.2 | Medium | 15.7 | 3.0 | 5.3 | 2.5 | 58.3 | House brought pressure and pace from the guard spot, with his defensive activity complementing a willingness to create off the dribble. His college reputation was built around ball pressure and playmaking, and that same attacking guard profile carried into his San Diego reserve role. Mountain West Conference — Jaelen House coverage | |
| DJ Carton | Secondary Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.05) | 29.9 | Medium | 13.1 | 2.7 | 4.9 | 2.2 | 55.4 | Carton functioned as a secondary creator who could organize possessions when the primary ball-handler gave up the ball. San Diego acquired him in January specifically after he had established himself as a productive G League lead guard, with his previous Iowa season showing substantial scoring and passing responsibility. San Diego Clippers — D.J. Carton acquisition coverage | |
| Kevion Nolan | Microwave Scoring Reserve (1.05) | 26.8 | Medium | 12.7 | 4.2 | 4.8 | 1.1 | 55.2 | Nolan provided instant offense and could swing a quarter when his shot was falling. Against Santa Cruz, he erupted for 17 points in the fourth quarter on 6-of-8 shooting, illustrating how San Diego could use his scoring burst to change the game without making him the full-time offensive hub. San Diego Clippers — Clippers outlast Santa Cruz Warriors | |
| Izaiah Brockington | Two-Way Slashing Guard (1.05) | 29.2 | Medium | 15.1 | 3.1 | 2.7 | 1.1 | 53.2 | Brockington was a physical scoring guard who could attack gaps and absorb contact rather than relying solely on perimeter shooting. San Diego acquired him after he had scored in double figures in ten straight Birmingham games, suggesting the Clippers viewed him as a proven G League scorer capable of immediately carrying offensive possessions. San Diego Clippers — San Diego acquires Izaiah Brockington | |
| Jalen Adaway | Versatile Scoring Wing (1.0) | 23.5 | Medium | 9.9 | 3.7 | 1.8 | 1.3 | 36.7 | Adaway was a complementary wing whose value came from filling several offensive gaps rather than dominating the ball. His international experience before joining San Diego gave him a broader professional background, including meaningful scoring and rebounding roles in Mexico, Canada and Slovakia. San Diego Clippers — San Diego welcomes Jalen Adaway, Keyshawn Bryant and Shakur Daniel | |
| Keyshawn Bryant | Energy Two-Way Forward (1.0) | 17.8 | Medium | 8.3 | 3.3 | 0.3 | 1.8 | 30.1 | Bryant supplied athletic energy from the forward spot, with his defensive activity and rebounding giving him a pathway to minutes even when his offensive touches were limited. San Diego brought him back after his previous Clippers stint, suggesting familiarity with his physical, defensive-oriented game. San Diego Clippers — San Diego welcomes three newcomers | |
| Yauhen Massalski | Interior Rebounding Specialist (1.0) | 16.3 | Medium | 4.8 | 5.9 | 1.2 | 1.1 | 26.0 | Massalski operated as an interior specialist, creating value through offensive rebounding, positioning and short-area finishing. His professional path had already established that identity, and his San Diego role gave him regular frontcourt minutes without requiring perimeter touches. San Diego Clippers — Yauhen Massalski coverage | |
| Jordan Lathon | Defensive Utility Guard (1.0) | 20.9 | Medium | 5.2 | 2.8 | 3.1 | 1.3 | 24.8 | Lathon was used as a connective guard, handling secondary creation while applying pressure defensively and keeping the offense moving. His 32-game season ultimately made him one of San Diego’s more consistent depth pieces, even though the offense was not built around his scoring. NBA G League — Jordan Lathon player profile | |
| Drew Cisse | Rim-Protection Reserve (1.0) | 13.6 | Low | 2.9 | 5.4 | 0.7 | 1.3 | 20.6 | Cisse’s role was fundamentally defensive: occupy the paint, rebound and challenge shots without demanding possessions. His 6-foot-11 frame made him a natural matchup option when San Diego wanted more size, while his limited offensive workload kept his responsibilities relatively narrow. ESPN — San Diego Clippers vs. South Bay Lakers box score | |
| Devontae Shuler | Backup Ball-Pressure Guard (1.0) | 13.0 | Low | 5.7 | 1.4 | 1.3 | 0.4 | 17.6 | Shuler filled a low-usage reserve guard role, bringing experience and ball-handling without taking many possessions away from San Diego’s primary creators. The small workload makes broader conclusions difficult, so the available season evidence points more toward depth utility than a defined offensive specialty. | |
| Shakur Daniel | Defensive Connector Guard (1.0) | 19.1 | Low | 2.4 | 2.4 | 2.0 | 0.7 | 15.0 | Daniel’s role was primarily connective, with limited scoring responsibility and more emphasis on keeping possessions organized. His move from Tarleton State into the G League was framed by his college coach as an opportunity to continue pursuing an NBA pathway, making this first professional sample more developmental than feature-oriented. Tarleton State — Shakur Daniel joins NBA G League | |
| Garrett Denbow | Developmental Two-Way Guard (1.0) | 14.1 | Low | 4.6 | 1.2 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 12.6 | Denbow’s San Diego role was developmental, with the coaching staff using him as perimeter depth rather than a featured creator. His season ended with the Clippers waiving him in January after 13 appearances, underscoring how limited the rotation opportunity became. San Diego Clippers — D.J. Carton acquisition and Garrett Denbow transaction | |
| Nate Darling | Veteran Floor-Spacing Reserve (1.0) | 4.0 | Low | 2.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 2.0 | 8.0 | Darling’s lone appearance came in a very small role, so the sample says little about his broader offensive value. His established G League identity, however, has been that of a perimeter shooter and scoring guard; in an earlier San Diego season he averaged 21.3 points while taking more than eight threes per game. NBA G League — Nate Darling player profile | |
| Devine Eke | Frontcourt Depth Piece (1.0) | 3.5 | Low | 1.0 | 0.5 | 0.0 | 0.2 | 3.4 | Eke saw only limited floor time, leaving little independent season reporting from which to establish a more specialized role. The available evidence points to a developmental frontcourt assignment rather than a rotation role with designed offensive responsibilities. |
