The Ontario Clippers’ 2023-24 season was defined by the organization’s continued emphasis on prospect development, with several members of the Los Angeles Clippers system taking on major responsibilities throughout the year. Ontario finished 15-19 and missed the playoffs, although the club’s underlying numbers were stronger than its record suggested, with a positive net rating and an expected record closer to .500.
Much of the attention centered on the growth of young talent, including Moussa Diabate, Jordan Miller, and Kobe Brown, while Xavier Moon again served as a stabilizing veteran presence when available. Frequent movement between the G League and the NBA affiliate created a constantly evolving rotation, a common feature of the season. Although Ontario was unable to secure a postseason berth, the year functioned as an important developmental stage for several players who were pushing for larger roles within the Clippers organization and professional opportunities beyond the G League.

| Brandon Boston Jr. | Primary Wing Scorer (1.1) | 29.7 | High | 25.0 | 5.3 | 2.7 | 1.3 | 90.55 | As a downhill scoring wing, Boston was given immediate offensive freedom when assigned to the G League, while his NBA call-ups reflected the Clippers’ view of him as a developing shot-maker.

| Elijah Harkless | Defensive Utility Guard (1.05) | 16.0 | Medium | 10.7 | 3.1 | 0.6 | 1.1 | 32.55 | Harkless was primarily a defensive-minded guard whose value came from point-of-attack pressure and activity; later reporting on his development repeatedly identified defense as a defining part of his game. Utah Jazz | |
| Joey Hauser | Stretch-Four Reserve (1.0) | 21.5 | Medium | 8.3 | 3.4 | 0.8 | 0.6 | 26.20 | Hauser’s clearest lineup function was perimeter spacing from the frontcourt, with his shooting allowing him to operate as a floor-spacing big rather than a high-touch interior scorer. Limited independent season-specific coverage was available. | |
| Dewayne Dedmon | Veteran Backup Center (1.0) | 13.0 | Low | 5.2 | 4.5 | 1.4 | 1.1 | 24.40 | Dedmon provided veteran interior depth and a traditional center presence, with his role focused on screening, rebounding and finishing around the basket rather than offensive initiation. Limited independent season-specific coverage was available. | |
| Warith Alatishe | Energy Rebounder (1.0) | 14.6 | Low | 4.9 | 4.0 | 0.7 | 2.2 | 23.60 | Alatishe’s impact came from high-motor frontcourt work: offensive rebounding, defensive activity and rim protection made him useful without requiring designed scoring opportunities. Limited independent season-specific coverage was available. | |
| Josh Hagins | Backup Point Guard (1.0) | 17.9 | Low | 3.8 | 2.4 | 4.4 | 1.0 | 23.20 | Hagins functioned as a stabilizing ball-handler, with his responsibilities centered on organizing possessions and creating for teammates rather than pursuing his own scoring volume.

| Brandon Boston Jr. | Single-Game Offensive Focal Point (1.05) | 38.0 | High | 34.0 | 6.0 | 7.0 | 3.0 | 101.56 | As a high-volume scoring wing, Boston carried the Ontario offense in his lone appearance, combining aggressive shot creation with seven assists and three steals. His 34-point outing was also the highest-scoring performance among the Clippers in this sample. Independent season coverage is limited because his assignment lasted only one game. Basketball Reference | |
| Xavier Moon | Lead Pick-and-Roll Creator (1.1) | 32.6 | High | 20.1 | 4.5 | 6.1 | 2.9 | 88.70 | Moon operated as the primary ball-handler, repeatedly putting pressure on defenses with his pull-up game and pick-and-roll creation. His 6.1 assists paired with 2.9 combined steals and blocks show how much of the offense ran through the veteran guard. Independent contemporary coverage is limited. Scout Basketball | |
| Kobe Brown | Point-Forward Playmaker (1.1) | 32.1 | High | 19.2 | 6.9 | 5.5 | 1.8 | 88.18 | Brown’s role went well beyond scoring: he was used as a passing forward who could initiate possessions, rebound and make reads from the frontcourt. A January win over Greensboro featured his triple-double, illustrating the Clippers’ willingness to put the ball in his hands as a creator. Los Angeles Times | |
| Jordan Miller | Two-Way Wing Creator (1.1) | 30.3 | High | 22.5 | 6.7 | 2.1 | 1.5 | 86.59 | Miller functioned as a featured scoring wing while still supplying rebounding and defensive activity. His development fit the Clippers’ plan to build young depth around complementary skill sets, and his rookie G League campaign ultimately earned league-wide recognition. Los Angeles Times | All-NBA G League Rookie First Team (2024) |
| Moussa Diabate | Rim-Running Defensive Centerpiece (1.05) | 29.2 | High | 15.6 | 10.2 | 2.4 | 3.1 | 72.30 | Diabate’s value was rooted in interior activity: he ran the floor, attacked the offensive glass and protected the rim. A February Ontario game saw him pair 17 points with 11 rebounds, reinforcing the high-energy frontcourt role he occupied alongside the Clippers’ creators. OurSportsCentral | |
| Joshua Primo | Developing Combo-Guard Creator (1.05) | 30.9 | Medium | 16.7 | 3.9 | 3.3 | 1.9 | 59.60 | Primo was given substantial developmental freedom with Ontario, where he could handle the ball and attack rather than simply stand on the perimeter. CBS Sports noted a run of eight straight G League games in double figures, including three games of at least 24 points. CBS Sports | |
| Mason Plumlee | Veteran High-Post Facilitator (1.0) | 29.0 | Medium | 14.0 | 7.0 | 4.0 | 2.0 | 54.00 | Plumlee’s one-game assignment gave Ontario a veteran center capable of screening, facilitating from the elbow and connecting cutters. His temporary G League stint was specifically an NBA assignment rather than a permanent developmental placement. RealGM | |
| Armoni Brooks | Movement Shooting Guard (1.05) | 28.3 | Medium | 15.4 | 3.8 | 1.9 | 1.5 | 52.21 | Brooks supplied perimeter gravity as a high-volume three-point shooter, with eight attempts from deep per game in this sample.

| Elijah Harkless | Point-of-Attack Defensive Guard (1.05) | 22.7 | Medium | 11.6 | 3.9 | 3.2 | 1.3 | 46.20 | Harkless brought defensive pressure and secondary ball-handling to the perimeter rather than functioning as a pure scorer. His later professional opportunity was built partly on that two-way profile, with his CEBL signing describing him as an emerging prospect with significant upside. CEBL | |
| Bryson Williams | Starting Interior Scoring Forward (1.05) | 25.4 | Medium | 10.6 | 6.3 | 1.9 | 1.3 | 42.21 | Williams served as a physical frontcourt option who could finish efficiently inside while stepping out occasionally to the perimeter. His 24 starts show that Ontario trusted him with a regular interior role rather than using him strictly as reserve depth. Independent contemporary coverage was limited. NBA.com | |
| Dewayne Dedmon | Veteran Stretch-Center Reserve (1.0) | 15.5 | Low | 6.9 | 6.2 | 1.5 | 1.1 | 31.40 | Dedmon provided veteran center minutes, combining interior rebounding with enough perimeter shooting to pull opposing bigs away from the paint.

| Brodric Thomas | Defensive Wing Connector (1.05) | 19.8 | Medium | 8.2 | 2.5 | 1.7 | 2.3 | 30.87 | Thomas’ value came from activity rather than a large offensive workload, with his wing role emphasizing defensive pressure and opportunistic scoring.

| Josh Hagins | Veteran Table-Setter (1.0) | 21.8 | Low | 5.0 | 2.4 | 5.5 | 1.8 | 29.40 | Hagins was primarily a possession organizer, giving Ontario a veteran ball-handler who could keep the offense moving without demanding many shots.

| Warith Alatishe | Mobile Defensive Four (1.0) | 15.5 | Low | 5.3 | 4.8 | 1.0 | 1.9 | 26.00 | Alatishe supplied frontcourt energy through rebounding, steals and weak-side rim protection. His 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in limited minutes underline a defense-first role, while his midseason move to Texas reflected roster movement rather than a change in his basic identity as an athletic forward. Sports Illustrated | |
| Joey Hauser | Perimeter Spacing Four (1.0) | 21.9 | Low | 6.5 | 3.4 | 1.1 | 0.9 | 23.80 | Hauser’s main offensive function was spacing the floor from the four spot, forcing defenses to account for his outside shooting while he worked as a low-touch complementary piece. His 34-game workload made him one of Ontario’s steadier rotation forwards. Independent season-specific coverage was limited. The Athletic | |
| Djordjije Jovanovic | Catch-and-Shoot Wing Reserve (1.0) | 20.8 | Low | 5.6 | 2.4 | 0.7 | 1.2 | 19.80 | Jovanovic occupied a low-creation perimeter role, spacing the court and looking for catch-and-shoot opportunities while contributing occasional defensive activity. His role was particularly useful when Ontario’s primary creators already had the ball. Independent season-specific coverage was limited. ABA League | |
| Nate Darling | Deep-Range Shooting Reserve (1.0) | 16.0 | Low | 4.3 | 1.3 | 2.0 | 0.6 | 16.40 | Darling was a perimeter-oriented reserve whose clearest offensive value came from willingness to shoot from deep. His very small regular-season sample makes it difficult to draw stronger conclusions about his role, so independent season-specific coverage is limited. CBC Sports | |
| TJ Clark | Defensive Energy Guard (1.0) | 9.9 | Low | 3.9 | 0.6 | 0.7 | 1.0 | 12.40 | Clark’s short Ontario stint was built around energy minutes and defensive pressure rather than offensive creation. Contemporary reporting surrounding his move to Texas described him as a young guard coming from Ontario’s available-player pool. Texas Legends | |
| Keyshawn Bryant | Athletic Wing Reserve (1.0) | 10.0 | Low | 2.5 | 2.3 | 0.3 | 0.8 | 11.80 | Bryant supplied athletic wing depth in a small role, with his minutes emphasizing energy and transition opportunities rather than half-court creation. Later Clippers coverage identified his six-game Ontario stint as a brief developmental opportunity. San Diego Clippers | |
| Nathan Cayo | Frontcourt Development Reserve (1.0) | 5.0 | Low | 0.5 | 1.0 | 0.0 | 0.5 | 4.00 | Cayo saw only brief Ontario minutes, making him more of a developmental frontcourt option than a regular rotation piece. His subsequent CEBL success, including a championship with Niagara, showed a player continuing to build his professional role after the G League stint. Manchester Basketball | CEBL Champion (2024) |
| Armon Fletcher | Emergency Wing Reserve (1.0) | 4.5 | Low | 2.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 0.0 | 4.00 | Fletcher’s Ontario appearance was essentially a deep-reserve opportunity, with the extremely small sample providing little evidence of a sustained tactical role. His broader 2023-24 season involved movement among several G League clubs, limiting the continuity of his Ontario assignment. NBA G League |
