Overthrown the Warriors! Scored 25+4+2! The Clippers picked up a treasure with the 50th pick

On October 18, in the NBA preseason game, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Warriors 106-103. Leonard, Harden, Paul, Butler, Kuminga and others are absent. Bill made his Clippers debut. He started for 14 minutes and 38 seconds. He made 6 of 9 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 12 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers, with a plus-minus of +5.

Curry played 29 minutes and 30 seconds, making 7 of 16 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block, 1 turnover and 2 fouls. There is a rookie who stole the limelight from Beal and Curry. He is the Clippers' No. 50 pick Kobe Sanders: 8 of 15 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 25 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

In this year's preseason, Kobe Sanders averaged 18 minutes per game, scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1.7 assists. The average points per game ranks fifth among the Clippers, behind Leonard, Lopez, Collins and Beal. Kobe Sanders was born on May 30, 2002. His height and wingspan are both 2.03 meters. He is currently on a two-way contract with the Clippers.

Kobe Sanders played in the NCAA for five years. He played for California Polytechnic State University for the first four years and transferred to the University of Nevada for the last year. In the 2024-25 season, Sanders averaged 31.7 minutes per game, 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.1 steals, with three shooting percentages: 46%, 34.2%, 79.5%.

Sanders is an older rookie, and his predicted pick is at the end of the second round. The Clippers have too many players who can play, and Sanders has to go to the Development League to level up. Finally, let’s take a look at the performance of the Clippers’ new players: Lopez played 17 minutes per game in the preseason, scoring 13.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.7 blocks, shooting 64% from the field and 53.3% from the three-point range.

Paul played 19 minutes per game, scoring 8.3 points, 3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks, and 1.3 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 47.1%, 50%, and 100%. Collins played 17 minutes per game, scoring 12 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.5 blocks, and 1.5 turnovers. His three shooting percentages were: 59.3%, 57.1%, and 85.7%.
